Whether or not that's something the Japanese publisher is interested in pursuing remains to be seen, though.ĭespite the sequel's launch earlier in the month, Tarsier isn't completely finished with Little Nightmares just yet. And, as IGN notes, Bandai's role as the rights holder means the celebrated horror series could return in some capacity with a different group in charge. However, the emphasis on Bandai Namco's ownership of the property indicates Little Nightmares will remain in Tarsier's rearview mirror for the foreseeable future. Neither Wingefors nor Embracer's report explicitly state that Little Nightmares 3 won't happen with Tarsier Studios at the helm. As such, Wingefors said that with Little Nightmares II out the door, the crew " will move over to create new IPs, and I'm super excited, and that was the main reason we made this acquisition a bit over a year ago." However, since it's an IP owned by Bandai Namco, the likelihood of Tarsier returning to the series seems low. Going forward, however, Tarsier will " focus on creating new IPs." Embracer Group's CEO, Lars Wingefors, confirmed as much in a webcast, expressing his excitement at how well Little Nightmares II is being received.

But it seems Embracer isn't only interested in Tarsier's bit-sized horror adventures, given the publisher's faith in the development team's ability to explore new avenues. Since then, the puzzle-platformer has taken Tarsier to new heights, evidenced in the studio's acquisition by mega publisher Embracer Group. The Sweden-based development studio got its start serving in support roles, often developing content for LittleBigPlanet projects before releasing the award-winning Little Nightmares in 2017. Much like its predecessor, Little Nightmares II launched to critical acclaim across the board overall, player reception appears incredibly positive, too. Tarsier Studios' Little Nightmares II just hit store shelves, but fans hoping for a third entry may be disappointed to learn that a Little Nightmares 3 isn't likely, since the team will begin focusing its efforts on developing new IP.
