Bandai Namco Entertainment has just unveiled a double dose of nightmares for Nintendo Switch 2 owners: Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition and the brand-new Little Nightmares III, both arriving on October 10, 2025. Whether you’re seeking a remastered dive into the original eerie world or ready to brave new horrors alongside a friend, your next sleepless nights have never looked this vivid.
Originally developed by Tarsier Studios and reworked by Engine Software, Enhanced Edition brings the first Little Nightmares into full 4K at 60 FPS on Switch 2. Expect ray-traced reflections, shimmering water effects, richer particle detail and volumetric lighting that bathes the Maw in chilling realism. In addition to graphical upgrades, new in-game helpers smooth out puzzles and platforming, letting both newcomers and returning survivors focus on unsettling encounters rather than navigating frustration.
Key Features:
Cinematic immersion – 4K resolution, 60 FPS, RTX reflections and enhanced lighting
Refined gameplay – New helper options for a more forgiving experience
Tense escapes – Climb through child-sized passages and evade grotesque residents
Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition launches digitally worldwide on the Nintendo eShop for Switch 2 on October 10, 2025. Note that save data from the original release can’t transfer forward.
Developer Supermassive Games steps into the shadowy Spiral for the franchise’s first fully co-op (and single-player) chapter. Little Nightmares III stars two lost friends, Low and Alone, each armed with an iconic tool—a bow for Low and a wrench for Alone—to conquer puzzles and evade deadly denizens in a carnival of nightmares. The game supports online co-op, so you can share the terror in real time or rely on an AI companion.
Release Details:
Date: October 10, 2025

Standard ($39.99): Base game + Dark Six Costumes Set
Deluxe ($59.99): Base game + “Secrets of the Spiral” Expansion Pass (two extra chapters) + Ferryman Costumes Set

Players will navigate twisted funhouse rides, grotesque midway attractions, and devious environmental puzzles—each step a blend of macabre art direction and bone-chilling suspense. Supermassive promises that the two protagonists’ unique abilities will intertwine, forcing cooperation as you attempt to outsmart residents who view children as more than mere playthings.
With Switch 2’s upgraded hardware, this slate of titles showcases the console’s newfound muscle. From the ray-tracing flourish in Enhanced Edition to seamless 60 FPS co-op in Little Nightmares III, Bandai Namco is betting that visual fidelity and cooperative thrills will solidify the franchise’s cult appeal. For fans of atmospheric puzzles, November’s pre-order window may just be your gateway to the darkest corners of the Maw and the Spiral.
Prepare to dive back into nightmares—and maybe lose a bit of sleep along the way.
