For those unfamiliar with the original title,Little Nightmaresis a horror side-scrolling platformer in the same vein asLimboandInside, where players take control of a young kid who must escape from various horrifying obstacles and creatures. The game is a puzzle-platformer and shares some DNA with titles likeLittleBigPlanet, where the player must use their puzzle-solving skills in order to advance to the next area. But with survival horror gameplay thrown in,Little Nightmaresfeels very unique and different from other titles within its genre. As scary as the original game ways, the sequel looks even scarier, with tons of disturbing imagery and visuals.
Apart from introducing new enemies and locations,Little Nightmares 2seems to largely differentiate itself from the original by incorporating co-operative play. It’s unknown whether the co-op mode is only intended for local multiplayer or will also support online play, and if so, whether online play will be allowed to be played cross-platform. The new co-op will surely spice up gameplay quite a bit, and allow for some very different puzzles involving players aiding one another in order to progress through the game.
At the end of the gameplay trailer, it was revealed thatLittle Nightmares 2will be launching on February 11th of next yearfor all current-gen consoles including the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Additionally, those who purchase the PS4 or Xbox One versions of the title will be able to receive the Xbox Series X or PS5 versions for free of charge when the respective next-gen ports launch in 2021 at a later date.
