Little Nightmares II Enhanced Edition announced for Nintendo Switch 2
Bandai Namco Games has scheduled Little Nightmares II Enhanced Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 for release on May 29th, implementing higher resolution and improved visual effects. An announcement trailer is streaming on the publisher's YouTube channel.

Developed by Tarsier Studios in Malmö and ported by Supermassive Games, the Enhanced edition of the horror-themed puzzle-platformer previously launched for Windows PC and game consoles. Audiovisual upgrades include Ray-traced reflections and an immersive 3D audio mix.

Previews of three music tracks are streaming on SoundCloud. Composer Tobias Lilja participated in a behind-the-scenes video, in which he describes the process of tapping into the surreal, nightmarish atmosphere of the survival horror game.


The audio director underscores the contrast between a surreal layer of the experience conveyed by the music composition with a realistic approach to the sound design, heightening the child protagonist's nightmare of being pursued by grotesque enemies. He recorded a music box and a punched paper strip for portions of "Old Friends Anew," representing an in-game music box that features prominently in the game's dramatic climax.

Little Nightmares II Original Game Soundtrack is streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, and Amazon Music. The full soundtrack, Nome's Attic DLC, and Digital Artbook are included in the Digital Contents Bundle on Steam and GOG.com. The Enhanced Edition is currently available for Windows PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
