Following on from the release of both Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition and Little Nightmares III in 2025, the series is back once again with Little Nightmares II Enhanced Edition for the Switch 2.
Launching on 29th May 2026, the release will boast improved resolution and visual effects, taking full advantage of the hardware in Nintendo's latest console. If you want an idea of what to expect, the game is already available on the likes of the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Otherwise, yes, this is basically the same game that originally launched in 2021 for the Switch, though from what we can see, it doesn't look like there is any upgrade path for current owners.

Here's a reminder of the official description:
"The game sets players in the shoes of Mono, a young boy trapped in a world that has been distorted by the humming transmission of a distant tower. He soon meets Six, the girl in a yellow raincoat, who guides him as he sets out to discover the dark secrets of The Signal Tower and save Six from her terrible fate."
Also, it's worth remembering that this was the final game in the series to be developed by Tarsier Studios before the team went on to make Reanimal. The third Little Nightmares game was then handled by Supermassive Games of Until Dawn fame.
