The last major update about Little Nightmares II was at last year's Gamescom, when developer Tarsier Studios said the puzzle-platform horror adventure would be launching this year.
It seems that's now changed, as this year's Gamescom trailer has now revealed it'll be arriving next year on 11th February. Here's why it's been delayed, according to producer Lucas Roussel:
We wanted to spend more time on the game and give it even more love, so we could create the best possible experience to delight our passionate fans.
And here's what you can expect when it does arrive:
The game will let players take control of Mono, a young boy trapped in a distorted world, who will be accompanied by Six, the protagonist from the first game, who will be computer-controlled. Players will have to bond and work with Six to solve puzzles, discover the world’s grimmest secrets and escape its monstrous inhabitants, such as the horrifying Hunter and the grotesque Teacher.

This looks even creepier than the first one.
Definite buy. Mainly bc my son absolutely loved the first one.
Certainly a must buy for me. Enjoy a lot the first game.
Wait, so is this game rated M instead of T like the last game was? Is that what PEGI-16 equals?
@Not_Soos Nope, Pegi 18 = M
@Dm9982 Thanks for clearing that up for me! I just assumed PEGI-12 was the closest thing to T, so anything higher must be M.
This looks fantastic, it looks like they have taken the gameplay of the first and really enhanced it with little tweaks to what the characters can do. I loved the first one and was one of the loud voices screaming for it on switch. This will be a day one buy for me.
@Not_Soos np! I had to look it up to be honest. I’m use to the E-M rating (USA here), but not the pegi system. Didn’t even know you guys had a rating between 12 and 18... we just go T to M.... so 13-17 years old and 18+
@Dm9982 I'm American too, otherwise I probably wouldn't have been so confused, haha! Every trailer I've seen for the game has used the PEGI scale instead of ESRB, so I wasn't sure what that converted to on our scale.
Can't wait, I loved the first one. I'm a sucker for these type of games.
@Not_Soos ah haha lol! Yeah the only reason I was vaguely in the know is I have a friend in the Netherlands that gets the same games as I do, usually a couple days early or so, and sends me pics so I compare the box art - typically the same but sometimes different.
Love the trailer, I've seen it four times already XD, this is exactly what I was hoping for a sequel. The first one is one of my favourite indie titles on Switch, a big surprise, and this game seems to be better in every way. Can't wait!
All these delays just make Spring 2021 look more exciting...
I definitely have to replay LN1 this halloween. It's such a gem, let them take their time with the sequel. I'm sure it will be worth it.
Like others here, I really enjoyed Little Nightmares. If there is just the one area that let it down it would be the ridiculously long load times after every time I died. I really hope that Tarsier Studios can iron this out for this amazing looking sequel.
Bought the first one on sale, it was surprisingly good. Not in a rush to play the 2nd one but definitely pick up someday.
Can't wait for this, love the first game this looks even better!!!
I've got the first game, waiting for Halloween October or November to play it.
Wait, so it's not going to be multiplayer? That feels like a serious waste...
I still want to play the first game. People say it's pretty good.
Loved the first. Sequel looks awesome. Me buy. Me enjoy. Yes yes yes.
They indeed turned up the horror to eleven, although the first game was great as well. The scene where all the fat, meat-eating people tried to grab the player character running across the tables really stood out to me personally, but the cooks, the blind man with the long arms, the woman with the mirrors,... It was a great game (despite the terrible load times and frequent instant deaths, I had to play it with someone else with me who also wanted to see it through in order to not quit the game).
Day one for me. Hope the graphics and performance are at least on par with the first game on Switch... maybe even improved slightly.
Would also kind of like a physical copy, even though I didn’t bother importing the first one.
@IronMan30 Yep, gameplay alone (fun puzzles and light platforming) is worth it, but the charming/creepy art and sound are great too.
I tried playing little nightmares 1 in broad daylight. Couldn't get past the 1st five minutes😂
Looking forward to this game. I love the first one on PS4. The only thing is where will I be playing this on (don't think it matters thou )
Hope that when it comes out, there's no performance issues as the previous game, I loved it, but to play it on Switch is simply painful.
