'Little Nightmares' Franchise Reaches 12 Million Units Sold

Little Nightmares II is a suspense-adventure game in which you play as Mono, a young boy trapped in a world that has been distorted by the humming transmission of a distant tower.

Little Nightmares II invites you to return to the disturbing and suspense-filled world of Little Nightmares!

With Six, the girl in a yellow raincoat, together they set out to discover the grim secrets of the world whilst fleeing from the monstrous residents out to capture them.

In Little Nightmares II, players will control Mono, with Six - the protagonist from the first game – acting as their computer-controlled companion. The relationship between the two children will play a huge role within the game’s story and unveil new gameplay mechanics as the children must work together to traverse through the world.

At certain points in the game, Mono will also be able to wield a range of items picked up from the environment – a new mechanic added to Little Nightmares II that adds an extra layer of challenge to the game’s puzzles and encounters with enemies. There will be times when stealth remains the best option, sneaking past towering enemies, and times when players must think quickly to save themselves, as well as their companion Six.

In addition to new gameplay mechanics, players will also venture outside of The Maw (the setting of the first Little Nightmares game), exploring new environments including a dark wilderness and facing new enemies, such as the sadistic Teacher.

Will you dare to face this collection of new, little nightmares?

On the sixth anniversary of the release of Little Nightmares, Bandai Namco announced that the homegrown franchise has reached over 12 million copies sold.

The franchise has released several games, starting with Little Nightmares in 2017, produced by Bandai Namco Europe and developed by Tarsier Studios. The game puts the players as Six as they try to escape the Maw, an underwater ship filled with grotesque inhabitants. The sequel, Little Nightmares II , released in 2021, tells the story of Mono, a boy with a paper bag on his head, who meets the girl in the yellow raincoat. This encounter leads them to explore various locations in Pale City, a place disturbed by the signal tower's buzzing transmission.

In addition, 2019 saw the release of Very Little Nightmares , a mobile game developed by Alike Studio in which players must escape from The Nest and discover more about Six's backstory.

“The Little Nightmares franchise has seen great growth and success since the first installment, released six years ago today,” said Arnaud Muller, CEO of Bandai Namco Europe. "We are proud of the work the teams at Bandai Namco Europe have done together with Tarsier Studios, Engine Software and Supermassive Games to create great games while expanding the franchise to more media."

“Watching the community grow over the years has been a blessing,” adds Lucas Roussel, Publishing Director and Little Nightmares Executive Producer at Bandai Namco Europe. "When we started Little Nightmares we thought we had something really special, but we are still amazed every day by the involvement of our fans with the franchise. We can't thank them enough for their dedication and we continue to work on the next step for the franchise."
