Little Nightmares 3 Release Date Explained—Exact Start Times & Release Date Confirmed

Are you looking for The Little Nightmares 3 release date? The series’ first dip into cooperative play is definitely an exciting prospect that will have many fans pairing up to take on grotesque monsters.

While originally planned for 2024, the game was eventually delayed to this year, and its release is finally here.

Here is everything we know about the Little Nightmares 3 release date and start time.

Little Nightmares 3 is set to release on October 10 on PC, Nintendo Switch 1 & 2, PlayStation 4 & 5, and Xbox One & Series X|S.

Unless there is a serious last-minute problem, you should fully expect Little Nightmares 3 to stick to this release date. We are now close enough that the game is ready to go from a development standpoint.

Unfortunately, Little Nightmares 3 isn’t alone in its October 10 start date. While completely different games, there are going to be a lot of more people focused on Battlefield 6 that same day. That isn’t to say that Little Nightmares 3 will end up with disappointing sales because of Battlefield, but it’s not a great way for the game to stand out, especially with this being the first cooperative entry.

Do We Know the Little Nightmares 3 Start Time?

Little Nightmares 3 is set to release at 12 AM ET on October 10, according to the PlayStation Store. Unless Bandai Namco or Supermassive Games announce otherwise, that is the time you should plan to be able to play.

Unlike some titles, there is not expected to be any staggered releases for the game. Depending on where you are in the world, you should be able to get access at the same time as everyone else.

The table below shows the expected start times for you to access Little Nightmares 3 at release.

Time ZoneLittle Nightmares 3 Start Time
Pacific Time (PT)9:00 PM—October 9
Central Time (CT)11:00 PM—October 9
Eastern Time (ET)12:00 PM—October 10
British Summertime (BST)5:00 AM—October 10
Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST)4:00 PM—October 10

If the PlayStation Store is correct, then Little Nightmares 3 has a standard midnight release that will let people who pre-ordered digitally play right away. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that many stores that carry the physical copy of the game will be handing out copies at midnight, so those players will most likely have to wait until the next day.
