Little Nightmares 3 will appear at the Future Games Show on August 20th, showcasing the eerie Carnevale and new horrors awaiting Low and Alone before its October 10th release.
Supermassive Games’ Little Nightmares 3 is set to make a chilling appearance at the Future Games Show on August 20th, coinciding with Gamescom 2025. Fans will once again step into the haunting shoes of Low and Alone, returning to one of the most unsettling locations in the franchise — the Carnevale. This twisted carnival setting was first revealed during the inaugural Little Nightmares Showcase, but Bandai Namco has now officially confirmed its role in the upcoming installment.
The Carnevale is far from a place of joy. Instead, it’s a nightmare-infused funfair filled with grotesque inhabitants and unsettling encounters. Among its horrors are hunchback-like figures with poor vision, forcing players to carefully manage stealth and movement to avoid detection. The environment is also home to living puppets that relentlessly hunt the protagonists until they are destroyed, creating moments of intense pressure and fear.
Players will need to use their wits and the environment to survive. One key mechanic in this setting is the “call” ability, allowing Low or Alone to lure enemies away from certain areas, opening up paths to progress. At other times, the emphasis will be on silent movement and hiding, with even a small mistake leading to deadly consequences.
In the first gameplay walkthrough of the Carnevale, Low and Alone’s journey reached a tense climax as they boarded a rollercoaster, hinting at an adrenaline-fueled escape sequence. The upcoming Future Games Show trailer may pick up exactly where that scene left off, potentially escalating the suspense and giving players their most intense look yet at the dangers of this nightmarish amusement park.
Beyond the Carnevale, Little Nightmares 3 promises to expand on the franchise’s signature blend of environmental storytelling, oppressive atmosphere, and cooperative gameplay. While fans can expect plenty of fresh horrors, the core experience of feeling small and powerless in a world designed to consume you remains intact.
The game is scheduled for release on October 10th, 2025, launching on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC, Nintendo Switch, and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. Alongside it, Bandai Namco will also release Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition, offering improved visuals and performance for the earlier titles in the series. In a nice bonus for early buyers, anyone who pre-orders Little Nightmares 3 will gain immediate access to the Enhanced Edition at no additional cost.
With the Carnevale’s twisted delights set to take center stage at the Future Games Show, anticipation for Little Nightmares 3 is higher than ever. Fans eager to see what new horrors Low and Alone will face should mark August 20th on their calendars — because when the lights go out at the funfair, survival is anything but guaranteed.
