After a delay that pushed its release from 2024, Little Nightmares 3 finally has an official launch date: October 10. While the standard edition has been available for pre-order since 2023, fans now have four versions to choose from, including an Amazon-exclusive Mirror Edition. Priced at $110, this Mirror Edition is likely to be a popular choice as it includes a variety of collectibles that will appeal to dedicated fans of the series. Amazon-exclusive game editions are typically in high demand, and this one looks both cool and reasonably priced. Little Nightmares 3 will launch simultaneously on Switch 2, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms.
The physical edition is only available in the United States and supports Switch 2, Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X. There is also an attractive pre-order promotion for digital buyers.
Pre-Order Bonuses for Little Nightmares 3
Pre-ordering the digital version of Little Nightmares 3 on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC grants early access to the enhanced version of Little Nightmares, ahead of the official October release. This offer does not apply to Switch or Switch 2. PS4 and Xbox One players can also benefit but must upgrade to PS5 or Series X|S to play the enhanced version.
Notably, pre-ordering the physical edition does not exclude players from receiving the free enhanced upgrade. Bandai Namco will provide a free upgrade to the enhanced version for original game owners on October 10. Thus, the only difference is early access, not the game itself.
All pre-orders, physical and digital, include the “Dark Six Costume Pack” for customizing the two main characters.
Little Nightmares 3 Mirror Edition
Amazon Exclusive Mirror Edition Price: $110 | Release Date: October 10
The Amazon-exclusive Mirror Edition includes all digital content from the $60 Deluxe Edition plus a range of collectibles. It features a striking Little Nightmares 3-themed collector’s box containing a colorful steel case, mini statues of Low and Alone, a softcover art book, and more. This edition is available for pre-order on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch.
Contents include:
- 12cm statues of Low and Alone
- Steel case

- Standard plastic game case
- Deluxe Edition in-game content
- Two additional DLC chapters

You effectively pay about $50 for these collectibles, which is a good deal compared to other collector’s editions priced around $100.
For many fans, the statues are the highlight, but the steel case design is also impressive. The cover features Low, the back Alone, both reaching out as if searching for each other when the box is opened, creating a warm design.
Little Nightmares 3 Deluxe Edition
Price: $60 | Release Date: October 10
If you don’t want the collectibles but want access to the DLC chapters, the $60 Deluxe Edition is available for Switch 2, Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X. The physical Deluxe Edition includes two DLC chapters and multiple costume packs except the Dark Six pre-order bonus.
Contents:

Additionally, Bandai Namco offers a Spiral Premium Edition exclusively through their official store for $140, which includes all Mirror Edition content plus:
- Nome controller stand
- Music stand
- Collector’s coin
The large controller stand is a highlight, and the double-sided collector’s coin is a nice desk decoration. The Little Nightmares 3 scene model is also available for fans, measuring about 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide, limited to 1999 units.
For those wanting to revisit the story before October 10, used copies of Little Nightmares 2 are available at GameStop and Amazon at affordable prices. While not required to play the third installment, playing the previous two helps capture more details. Both games received positive reviews and are worth a quick playthrough.
