New Co-op Gameplay Detailed in ‘Little Nightmares III’ Trailer [Watch]
Not to be outdone by former series developer Tarsier Studios at Gamescom, Supermassive and Bandai Namco has revealed a new co-op gameplay trailer for the upcoming Little Nightmares III. The latest trailer demonstrates a few of the challenges waiting for protagonists Low and Alone that you’ll need to overcome in order to find a way out of the Nowhere.
Teamwork will be put to the test as never before in Little Nightmares III, whether you’re playing co-op online with a friend, or solo with an AI companion. If you play as Low, you’ll have the use of his makeshift bow and arrows. Doing so will allow players to slice ropes and bring down the smaller threats of the Nowhere, like grounding buzzing beetles so Alone can finish them off with her trusty wrench.
“The relationship between the two characters is very strong, and we were keen to explore that bond in the game. It is even more relevant when we see them working together to escape the many threats that make up the Nowhere”, says Wayne Garland, Little Nightmares III Game Director at Supermassive Games, who spoke to PlayStation Blog about the upcoming game.
Little Nightmares III will release in 2025 for PC via Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
