Little Nightmares III

Two kids, two tools, first online co-op

Released on 10 October 2025 on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, Little Nightmares III casts you as Low, armed with a bow, or Alone, carrying a wrench. For the first time in the series it can be played in online co-op or solo with an AI companion; there is no local co-op.

What the press says

GamingBolt calls it a worthy addition and perhaps the best entry yet, with incredible visuals, a distinct art style and online co-op, though the camera and controls could be better. Push Square praises gorgeous, haunting art direction, clever puzzles, a smart AI companion and good accessibility options, but finds it plays it safe, is short on fresh ideas, recycles too many puzzles and lacks local co-op. Gamesurf (8.5/10) says it does not rewrite the series’ rules but expands them smartly, despite some technical hesitations; Areajugones (8/10) praises striking characters and environments despite a short runtime and a few frustrating puzzles; GamersRD (8.5/10) finds it highly recommendable for its atmosphere and co-op puzzles.

Platforms and prices

On 11 November 2026 the standard edition costs €39.99 on Steam and the PlayStation Store, and the Deluxe Edition €59.99 on Steam and the PlayStation Store (prices rechecked on 13 November). The free trial with Friend’s Pass, the Expansion Pass and costumes sold separately are not compared. Xbox Store and Nintendo eShop prices could not be confirmed during this check.

Who is it for?

Fans of short horror adventures and puzzles, ideally played with a friend online. Players hoping for a fresh take on the formula may be less convinced.
