Little Nightmares 3 release date and time
Little Nightmares 3 officially launches on Oct. 10, 2025. This release date was unveiled on June 24 with the “Little Nightmares III – You’re in for a Ride” trailer. The announcement is hidden near the end of the trailer among several other reveals, so it’s easy to miss.
It was originally slated for release back in 2024 after being initially revealed in 2023. Little Nightmares 3 was then delayed to 2025 with an announcement that was shared on May 31, 2024. Now, an official release date is set, and it’s confirmed for launch just before Halloween.
A precise launch time hasn’t been shared so far, so we’ve set our countdown to 12am CT on Oct. 10 for now. On Steam, it says Little Nightmares 3 comes out on Oct. 9, so a midnight launch currently seems like the most probable time based on this. We’ll likely learn more about the launch time once the release date is closer, though, so check back here for the latest updates so you can dive into exploring Nowhere as soon as it’s available.

What is Little Nightmares 3 about?
Little Nightmares 3 follows two childhood best friends by the names of Low and Alone as they search for a way out of a strange world called Nowhere. Low wields a bow while Alone carries a wrench, meaning you must work together to progress, as certain situations call for each of these specific items.
It’s a co-op puzzle game with survival elements, but you can also team up with AI to work through it if you don’t have someone willing to traverse this nightmare world and confront childhood fears with you. Horrifying monsters are waiting behind every corner, and ó you must work together to solve complex puzzles, so teamwork is crucial for your success.
