A sequel to Little Nightmares, stylised as Little Nightmares II, is making its way to the Switch next year. Bandai Namco dropped this terrifying surprise on the opening night of Gamescom.
The second game by Tarsier Studios is described as a "suspense-adventure" and sees you take on the role of Mono - a young boy trapped in a world distorted by the humming transmission of a distant tower.
With Six, the girl in a yellow raincoat, as his guide, Mono sets out to discover the dark secrets of The Signal Tower and save Six from her terrible fate; but their journey will not be straightforward as Mono and Six will face a gallery of new threats from the terrible residents of this world.
- Take Mono and Six on their adventure while a host of brand-new Residents lie in wait
to haunt your steps and disturb your sleep. Outsmart the sadistic Teacher, survive the
bloodthirsty Hunter and more hair-raising characters down to the roots of evil.
- Escape a world that’s rotten from the inside. Your journey will take you from creepy
woodlands, to sinister schools, on your way to the dreadful Signal Tower to find the
source of the evil that spreads through the TV screens of the world.
- Six is fading from this world and her only hope is to guide Mono to the Signal Tower. In this world of nightmares, you are her only beacon of hope. Can you muster the courage to fend off your tormenters, and co-operate with Six to somehow make sense of The Signal Tower?
The complete edition of Little Nightmares was released on the Switch last year. To date, the original game has terrified over one million fans.

That reminds that I haven't even played the first one despite having downloaded it on my Switch some time ago, I should probably get to playing sometime.
Looks like a combat element might be added with the spoon being used to strike someone in the trailer. I wonder how it would change the gameplay given there wasn't really any fighting per se in the original, if it does happen.
Played it for a while, then it just got so freaky and some of the jumps seem completely impossible, I gave up. Think I will go back to it after I've finished Earthlock
I tried to play the first one on Switch but got too frustrated by the loading times and never made it far.
Great news love the first game, will definitely buy this sequel.
First game was horrible in terms of loading screens and the time you had to wait between deaths.
Took me out of the element 100% and hated the game because of that.
Hope the sequel will have better loading times...
Or none at all...
@BenAV That was my experience too, I loved the game but the loading times were so annoying I never actually finished it. I'm definitely finishing it right after I finish Guacamelee and Sonic Mania, tho. See, I have a plan. 😁
@Bunkerneath I wish I liked Earthlock more. I feel a twinge of disappointment every time I scroll past it on my Switch.
@DockEllisD
Bro what are you saying? First one was physically released in EU as well, not sure about USA tho.
@DockEllisD
Yeah man I was superfast replying sorry XD
It is great indeed and the lore is very cool, but as other people said loading times killed it. Gotta me a lot of patience to finish it
@Trellgoth If the wait times are that bad, I might as well watch a walkthrough.
@Antonis427 Same for me. "Fail" games (where the wrong move is an instant loss) DEMAND quick load times. They live off "just one more time" play sessions that suck you in. The loooooong load times broke the game.
Originally played the first one on PS4, one of the last games I "double dipped" for, and then replayed it on Switch. But those loading times combined with some cheap repetitive deaths were really bad. That aside, this game is mostly amazing...
Curious about this one.
Hopefully the Switch version improves on the load times. But I’m still glad this game is coming to the Switch. It just needs to improve on one thing, and it’s all good.
@HeroOfCybertron It's a really great game as long as you stay away from the expansion portion that comes with the switch version. Here is my review I wrote a while back if you wanna see what I mean in more depth:

I can't wait. I bought the Six edition for my PS4 Pro and loved the first game so much I had to track down a European physical version of the Complete edition for Switch just to have the DLC on cart. This game looks great. I wish it was coming out in October instead.
The load times absolutely killed LM1 on Switch. Otherwise it would have been a good game that had some really cool puzzles and ideas.
@Bunkerneath how is Earthlock?
Looks multiplayer. If it is, I'll grab it.
@Shambo how were the load times on PS4?
@FarkyValentine Not too bad, the battle mechanics are a bit clunky, but once you work out how to use it to your advantage it's pretty good. Not that far into it but there is a lot of potential, hope it doesn't disappoint.
@Dysnomia I never compared them side by side, but they were equally terrible... If it weren't for the fact that my partner and me were playing it together and both really wanted to see the rest of the game (and we had tea and other distractions with us), I'd have run out of patience often.
I have the first game loaded on my Switch, but I have yet to play it.
