Little Nightmares 3 offers some new features, unfortunately not necessarily what we expected. But at least it is for the good of the game and future players.
In a recent announcement, the official Little Nightmares 3 account confirmed that the game’s release is now being delayed. This news, shared on Twitter/X, sparked a variety of reactions from fans. Of course, there is disappointment, but fortunately, there is also a lot of understanding. Because ultimately, this is all being done for the good of the game.
Little Nightmares 3 is coming later
The message sent to players remains quite vague about the specific reasons for this delay. However, the developers emphasized that “Quality is our top priority“and that is what they want”Give the game the care and love it deserves.“While the exact launch timeframe in 2025 is not specified, the team promises more information.”later this summer.“
Little Nightmares 3, developed by Supermassive Games, was originally announced at Gamescom last year, with a release planned for 2024 before this delay was announced. The previous game, Little Nightmares 2, enjoyed remarkable success after its release in February 2021, while the first installment was released in April 2017.
Supermassive Games, known for its work on 2015’s Until Dawn, has been going through a difficult time, having laid off up to 30% of its workforce last February. While the direct impact of these layoffs on Little Nightmares 3’s development is unconfirmed, it’s likely that they’ve contributed to the current delays.
Interestingly, the first two games in the Little Nightmares series were released at the beginning of their respective years. This could point to an early 2025 release for Little Nightmares 3, although this remains speculative. If the game was originally aiming for a release around Halloween, as some have speculated, the delay could potentially push the release into the early months of 2025.
