Bandai Namco Lists New Position for ‘Little Nightmares’ Project
After celebrating a huge sales milestone for the Little Nightmares series, it appears that Bandai Namco is moving forward with their plan to continue the franchise. While the news is not a definite Little Nightmares III, it certainly does lean towards that being a possibility.
Spotted by Twitter user @SmackNPie, Bandai Namco has posted a new internship position on LinkedIn for a Producer Assistant for the Little Nightmares IP. Details on the project are of course kept to a minimum, but this is another confirmation for fans of the series that Bandai Namco is looking to move forward with another entry, despite losing original developer Tarsier Studios to Embracer Group back in 2019.
Again, the listing doesn’t specifically state that the project is Little Nightmares III, as it could very well be another spin-off in the vein of Very Little Nightmares, which was released for iOS back in 2019.
Also, keep in mind that Bandai Namco is looking to expand the series beyond video games. After all, it’s been a while since we heard about Anthony and Joe Russo‘s project with A Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick to create a Little Nightmares television series. And Bandai Namco have technically already crossed over with that four-part comic miniseries from Titan Comics back in 2017.
The latest entry in the series, Little Nightmares II, is available now on PC via Steam, the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
Big thanks to RelyOnHorror for spotting this.
We’ll be waiting a little while longer for developer Studio Cut to Bits’ gothic Metroidvania Venture to the Vile. Originally slated to launch on PC via Steam on May 7, the game has now been pushed a couple of weeks to May 22. The PlayStation release of Venture to the Vile is still expected later this year.
In a press release, Venture to the Vile producer Masao Kobayashi explains the decision to delay the release, stating that while Studio Cut to Bits is made up of industry veterans, this is the first time that the team has released a game as indie developers. As such, the team encountered a few hurdles leading up to the original release date.
“We all love Venture to the Vile and want to make sure we are delivering the best possible game we can for our players. For this reason, we have decided to delay our game by two weeks. I’m sorry to those who have been anticipating our game but I assure you it is going to be worth the wait.”
Venture to the Vile centres on the town of Rainybrook, where an unknown darkness is taking over, transforming anything and anyone it touches. Fortunately for you, you seem to be unaffected by this presence. However, your friend Ella is nowhere to be seen. You must brave the horrors and find her.
