The Carnevale still hides a more unsettling zone... Little Nightmares III – The Backstage, the DLC for Little Nightmares III developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 since June 12, 2026. This DLC drops players behind the scenes of the Carnevale, offering fresh puzzles, new dangers, and a brand-new character.
The core gameplay remains focused on exploration, co-op progression, and solving puzzles in harsh environments. This expansion introduces Dime, a child wearing a bulb-shaped hat whose light guides you through the dark backstage areas. Low will have to rely on this beacon to push forward, dodge threats, and advance in a space built around careful observation and prudent play.
In The Backstage, Low meets Dime as he ventures into a more secluded corner of Carnevale. Together, the two kids must face fresh threats and race to rescue Alone from the Marionnettiste. This chapter broadens the game’s unsettling universe by shifting the action behind the carnival’s scenes, a backstage where lighting becomes a crucial tool for progression.
The expansion is bundled with the Deluxe Edition of Little Nightmares III, which also unlocks access to another add-on planned for later this year. Bandai Namco sharpens the game’s arc with a tighter episode, whose draw mainly lies in its fresh puzzles and the spotlight it gives to Dime across this backstage journey. Grab your controllers!
