Game News “We want to give it the care and love it deserves.” This cute and scary horror video game will ultimately not be released this year
Supermassive Games’ latest horror game has finally been pushed back to ensure its quality, the developers reveal.
Players who wanted to discover the latest work of this cult license this year will have to wait a little longer. Although it was made official on Gamescom2023it seems that the last title of Supermassive Games will be missing from our consoles this year. However, as always, a postponement brings some good news, as it guarantees players a smooth, even exceptional experience.
From 2024 to 2025
Bad news for those who were impatiently waiting for the return of Little Nightmares: the third game has been postponed. It was originally scheduled to land in 2024. He will ultimately have to wait another year. As a reminder, Little Nightmares 3 will be the first work developed by Supermassive Games (The anthology “The Dark Pictures”), after two acclaimed episodes developed by Tarsier Studios. We should find Low and Alone there, who must travel through the spiral to get out of a place called Nowhere. As shown in the puzzle-filled trailers, the title will be available in solo or co-op mode. But back to this report.
A high quality Little Nightmare 3
Unfortunately, it is impossible to know exactly why Little Nightmares 3 was delayed. The developers speak of quality research, but prefer to remain vague:
« […] We also want to make sure we give the game the care and love it deserves. Quality is our top priority and we know you feel the same. That’s why we’ve made the decision to delay the game’s release to 2025.” — explains the press release from Supermassive Games.
We can also assume that, without a more precise release window, the teams want to focus on Dark Pictures’ next title, The Casting of Frank Stone, also expected in 2024. Note that despite the success of their game, the developers also went through a difficult period with numerous layoffs. It is possible that so many movements within the company messed up the schedule. However, the studio will not leave us waiting idly for Little Nightmares 3, because according to the press release, there should be news about this title this summer. We can certainly hope for a new trailer and why not a demo to showcase all the work done. Now there is only one thing left: check out the Summer Game Fest.
