This unclear tweet from Bandai Namco for Little Nightmares 3 catalyzed waves of excitement online. So many an impression washes in the minds of players with nothing more than that cryptic phrase: “Something unsettling is coming. It’s closer than you think. Are you ready to face it, little ones?” No visual hints were given whatsoever, just vibes. And with this sudden thunderstorm, the comment section seems quite unruly.
First of all: the hype is REAL; on the comments gaming community members are losing their minds. KORII shouts: “ON MY BIRTHDAY TOO OH LN3 YOU’LL ALWAYS BE PEAK.” PaimonPancake added: “OH MY GYAT,” and indeed there’s very little one can add. It’s an insane vibe, andgosh, we love watching.
People have been waiting for this game forever, it seems. Akram_alonizi joked, “I aged two years waiting for release date,” and honestly? Mood. The first Little Nightmares dropped in 2017; another one in 2021. Since then? Radio silence. Until today.
Others are ready for an overnight shadow_drop-a sudden one where poof, there goes the game. Drplat23 even said, “I really think they boutta pull a Lies of P dlc and Shadow drop it on Tuesday!!!” Would they? Probably. Would it break the internet? Definitely.
Then there is the mystery of what lies within the teaser. All the tweet does is link us to a very short clip (with no sound, EnvyEyes notes), but we’re already dissecting every single frame-how fascinating! New monster? New location? Why does it just feel that we are about to get traumatized all over again? Classic Little Nightmares.
MaferFunkin’s obligatory “before GTA 6 and Silksong” got us giggling. Because, yeah, at this point, Little Nightmares 3 may actually beat both of them to being released.
And only upside? Some fans must be heartbroken that it ain’t local co-op, unlike WJD1397: “Wish it was local coop 🥀💔.” Fair. But let’s count on getting something finally.
What next? No date exists, but the hype train departed from the station weeks back. Players are ready to throw their wallet at Bandai Namco (shoutout to lestkrr screaming, “TAKE MY WALLETTTTTT”), and honestly? Same. Based on this teaser alone, Little Nightmares 3 theoretically should be subjected to whatever nightmares bestavor.
Now we wait. Maybe sleep with the lights on. Just in case.
