So, after hinting at some future DLC for Little Nightmares, Tarsier Studios and Bandai Namco has dropped some more info that will no doubt please fans.
Announced in a press release, “Secrets of the Maw” is a the three-part expansion that will be released chapter by chapter starting in July. The story of the expansion takes place parallel to the events of the main game, and introduces players to The Runaway Kid (who was briefly shown at the end of the previously-mentioned accolades trailer), another prisoner looking escape The Maw, “an eerie, twisted vessel filled with disturbing and dangerous enemies who are eager to devour their next victim.”
The first chapter of the expansion is entitled The Depths, where The Runaway Kid “explores the foul and murky sewers as he tries to escape from an insidious threat that lurks underwater.” The second chapter, The Hideway, will release in November, “a machine-themed section where the Nomes reside.” The third and final chapter will be releasing in January 2018, which will determine the fate of the new protagonist.
If anything, more Little Nightmares is a good thing. Here’s hoping a trailer comes soon.

All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
