Little Nightmares 3 – The Backstage – the DLC expansion announced during last week’s Summer Game Fest festivities – is now available.

The first additional content for Supermassive Games’ twist on Tarsier Studios’ deeply unsettling world, The Backstage is out now on Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and last-gen systems.

Players will see Low meet Dime, a new child wearing a torch hat, “a very helpful tool for finding their way in what lies beyond the curtains of The Carnevale”. The two children must “face new threats and use their light to find a way to save Alone from the hands of a new Resident: The Puppeteer”. Which all sounds very on brand for such a deliciously macabre game.

Little Nightmares 3 – The Backstage is available to players with the Secrets of the Spiral Expansion Pass, or can be purchased separately for £6.49 on console, or £6.99 on Steam.

Matt gave Eurogamer’s Little Nightmares 3 review a modest three out of five stars, writing: “Supermassive’s decision to play it safe means too many familiar frustrations, but impressive artistry – and a mid-game uptick – makes for a grimly compelling adventure all the same.”

ICYMI, Little Nightmares 2’s Enhanced Edition is finally available on Nintendo Switch 2. Tarsier Studios’ sinister platform horror Little Nightmares 2 released the Enhanced Edition for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC way back in 2021, but this is the first time the second game is playable on Nintendo’s second Switch console.

While the upgraded version had been given away for free for owners of the original, uh, non-enhanced versions on prior platforms, Little Nightmares 2: Enhanced Edition is the only version available for Nintendo Switch 2, which is why it costs £24.99.
