Bandai Namco has made an exciting announcement today, revealing that two highly anticipated Little Nightmares games are set to launch on the upcoming Switch 2. The first title, Little Nightmares III, has officially secured a release date of October 10, 2025. This release will coincide with the Switch version, ensuring that fans on this platform won't miss out on the spine-chilling adventure. Additionally, players who pre-order will receive an exclusive bonus—a dark six costumes set that adds flair to the gameplay.
Physical pre-orders for Little Nightmares III are now available across various platforms, while Nintendo pre-orders are expected to be announced soon. Gamers can choose from four distinct versions: a standard edition, a mirror edition, a deluxe edition—which includes additional chapters—and a premium spiral edition. This diverse range of options allows fans to select the package that best suits their gaming style and preferences.
The narrative of Little Nightmares III promises to deliver an ill-fated adventure at a funfair, where survival becomes paramount. As players navigate this eerie landscape, they are urged to "do what you must to survive the ride, little ones." The game will be available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC, all launching on the same date of October 10, 2025.

One of the standout features of Little Nightmares III is the introduction of a friend pass, which allows users to invite a friend to join their adventure for the entire game, even if that friend does not own a copy. This cooperative gameplay element is sure to enhance the overall experience, making it even more engaging for players.
In addition to Little Nightmares III, Bandai Namco has also announced the release of an Enhanced Edition of the original Little Nightmares game, which will be available on the Switch 2 on the same date, October 10, 2025. The trailer for this enhanced version teases numerous improvements, such as 60FPS gameplay, higher resolution graphics, faster loading times, and several quality-of-life enhancements, including traversal assistance to make the gameplay smoother.
The tagline for the Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition sums it up perfectly: "Same nightmare. More vivid. More intense." This revamped experience will also launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, ensuring that players across all major platforms can enjoy the upgraded version.
Players who pre-order Little Nightmares III will receive immediate access to the Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition (note that this offer does not extend to Nintendo versions). Furthermore, existing owners of the original Little Nightmares game will benefit from a free digital upgrade at launch, although this upgrade is also unavailable for Nintendo versions.
