Further, the Standard and Deluxe Editions are available for $39.99 and $59.99, respectively, in PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Nintendo eShop. The following editions are also available to purchase:
- Digital Deluxe Edition – includes Secrets of The Spiral – Expansion Pass and the Residents Costumes Pack
- Collector “Mirror Edition” includes Deluxe Edition content, a figurine, a metal case, a physical artbook, the OST in digital and physical format, and some stickers
- Premium Collector “Spiral Edition” (Bandai Namco Store exclusive) – includes the Collector “Mirror Edition” figurine, enhanced with a music box base, a Nome controller/phone holder and a double-sided coin of Low and Alone.
Lastly, Final Weapon reviewed Little Nightmares III and gave it a 3 out of 5, noting that “while the game’s atmosphere, art direction, and world-building are hauntingly beautiful, its lack of true scares and overly simple puzzles hold it back. The co-op mechanics feel underutilized, and solo play suffers due to overly helpful AI. Despite its flaws, the game’s strong visuals and collectibles make it a worthwhile yet uneven experience for fans of the series.”
