Evaluation

Little Nightmares III launched on October 9, 2025. From day one, Bandai Namco and Supermassive Games released the Secrets of The Spiral Expansion Pass, signaling a post-launch content plan. Several cosmetic DLC packs also shipped at or shortly after launch. The first story expansion, The Backstage, released on June 12, 2026 (DLC-1), introducing a new companion character named Dime and new story locations deep within The Carnavale. This is included in the Expansion Pass. Critically, the June 10, 2026 announcement post (NEWS-3) explicitly stated that the Expansion Pass includes not just The Backstage, but also "another additional chapter coming later this year" — referring to a second story chapter scheduled for release before end of 2026. This is a concrete developer statement of planned, unshipped content, and as of today (September 18, 2026) that second chapter has not appeared in the DLC listings and has not been released. The developer has continued to actively engage with the game post-Backstage: a Summer Update on July 15, 2026 (NEWS-1) addressed gameplay, enemy AI, multiplayer sync, and UI issues, and a technical notice was posted on July 21, 2026 (NEWS-10) about GPU compatibility. This confirms the developer is still actively maintaining the game while the second expansion chapter is in development. The Expansion Pass (DLC-6) is listed as Released, which only means it is available for purchase — the content bundled within it has not fully shipped yet, as the second chapter remains undelivered.

About this game

Two young friends, lost in a frightening world not made for children.

If they cannot find a way out of this Nowhere place, they’ll be condemned to a fate worse than death.

You play as Low and Alone, best friends ever since they found each other in this lonely nightmare. They each possess their own iconic item: a bow for Low and a wrench for Alone. Working together, they’ve become adept at sneaking through hidden passages, hoisting each other over massive obstacles, and watching each other’s backs. Whether you’re playing with a friend or an A.I. companion, you’ll depend on each other's iconic items to create opportunities and to progress. The environment is full of clues and possibilities for imaginative children to exploit. Low’s arrows can reach high targets, cut through ropes, or down flying enemies, and Alone’s wrench is just the thing for crushing stunned enemies, smashing through barriers, or manipulating the workings of massive machines.

No matter where you go, the Nowhere is home to horrific monsters. These Residents won't hesitate to go out of their way to capture any intrusive little Visitors that draw their attention. You might find yourself playing a terrifying game of hide and seek with Monster Baby in the sandy ruins of the Necropolis, struggling to avoid swarms of voracious Candy Weevils in an unsetlling Candy Factory, or dodging heavy feet while running along the rain-soaked promenade of a filthy funfair. You'll need to be ready to run, hide, or even defend yourself at a moment's notice to stay in one piece.

Don’t be too distracted by the desolate beauty of the Nowhere. There are dark mysteries waiting for you as Low and Alone follow their mirror path across the Spiral. As each new location will become more dangerous and disturbing than the last, traumatic flashes from the past will begin to emerge. Will Low and Alone finally escape from this unending nightmare?

Only you can help them, little ones...
