Little Nightmares III Showcase Date: Everything You Need to Know

After what feels like an eternity of silence, Little Nightmares III is finally moving in the shadows. The team behind the game has confirmed a special showcase for the long-awaited horror platformer, set to take place on June 24th, 2025.

With fans growing increasingly excited for news, this event might finally shed light on what’s next for the eerie world of Little Nightmares and hopefully reveal a release date.

When Is The Little Nightmares III Showcase Happening?

Fans of the series can expect the showcase quite soon, on June 24th, 2025. Stay tuned!

A Long-Awaited Return to the Nightmare

Fans of the series will remember the unsettling charm that made Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares II so iconic. The game offers some creepy character design and the tension-filled platforming, defining the indie horror genre.

For many players, scenes like the infamous dinner table sequence from the first game remain unforgettable. The Little Nightmares II really built on what the first game did, improving a lot of things. That said, the dinner scene from the original is still a fan favorite. Both games are full of memorable little moments.

But Can Little Nightmares III Compete?

While the hype is real, Little Nightmares III isn’t without competition. The original development team at Tarsier Studios is no longer involved, and that has left some fans skeptical about the game’s direction. The eerie atmosphere and subtle storytelling that defined the first two games might be hard to replicate.

Adding to the pressure, Reanimal, developed by Tarsier’s original studio is shaping up to be a strong successor. Meanwhile, End of Abyss, which I believe is led by the former creative director of Little Nightmares II and heads the studio is gaining attention for its similar atmosphere and gameplay style.

With these competitors potentially releasing around the same time, Little Nightmares III needs to capture attention fast or risk being overshadowed.

Little Nightmares III Delayed

Originally planned for a 2024 release, Little Nightmares III was delayed to 2025 as per the developers, however delays can be a good sign as it usually means the team is putting in the effort to make sure the game turns out right. However, with less than six months left in this year, now is the critical moment for the developers to reveal a release date and ramp up their marketing efforts.

Final Thoughts

The upcoming showcase could be make-or-break for Little Nightmares III. While delays often mean a better product, the clock is ticking.

Other games made by people from the original team are coming soon, and fans are eager for something that brings back the creepy feeling of the first two games. It's still unclear if this new chapter can live up to that legacy, but for now, there’s still a bit of hope left.

What do you think, can Little Nightmares III truly capture that eerie Tarsier magic, without them on board, or will it be something entirely different from the series we once knew?
