Get lost in the latest trailer for Little Nightmares II, which will be released on 10th February 2021 on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, 11th February 2021 on Xbox One and PC via Steam. Little Nightmares II is developed by Tarsier Studios, with the Switch version developed by Engine Software.
We are also proud to announce that Little Nightmares has reached three million units sold worldwide (as of 12/31/2020), showcasing the long tail success of the first episode which continues to perform well more than three years after its initial release. Another million players have opted in to try the first game since that date, meaning over four million people have set their first steps in the world of Little Nightmares.
For players willing to discover Little Nightmares II, a demo of the game is still available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch as well as on PC on Steam. Another entry point to the universe of Little Nightmares is also the digital comic book, developed in collaboration between BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe, Tarsier Studios and Plastiek. The comic highlights the stories of a few lost children of the Little Nightmares universe. The first 4 chapters are out on Android and iOS with more to come in the near future.
We’re happy to invite you to watch the latest terrifying video for Little Nightmares II, featuring award-winning illusionist and mentalist Derren Brown. Known for his commercially successful tv shows and critically acclaimed stage shows, Derren asks the world ‘What are Nightmares’?
Set within the warped and twisted reality of the Little Nightmares world, Derren takes you on a journey through your deepest fears and nightmares. He explores the depths of what you feel and dread as you try to escape the dark void you find yourself thrown into. Discover your own nightmares and find the answers to your own important questions – is the nightmare a dream or is it a reality?
Little Nightmares II will be available starting 10th February 2021 on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, 11th February 2021 on Xbox One and PC via Steam, and later in 2021 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X with a free upgrade for owners of the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version.

About Derren Brown
Born in Croydon, UK, in 1971, Derren traces his interest in magic and psychological techniques to childhood, but it was only later, at Bristol University, where he reluctantly studied Law and German, that he started to delve more seriously into the stranger edges of human experience and what they might mean to us.
After graduating, Derren forewent an international legal career and concentrated on developing his performance skills. He was able to pay the bills by working as a magician and hypnotist with a side line in portraiture.
His big break came in 1999 when he was asked by the UK’s Channel 4 to put a TV show together. The result, DERREN BROWN: MIND CONTROL, was shown in 2000, proving an immediate success and winning a coveted Rose d’Or. Since then, re-defining magic through must-see TV and stage events, Derren has exhilarated audiences world-wide with a never-equalled brand of mind-control, suggestion, showmanship and illusion.
His name has become synonymous with the art of psychological manipulation in the UK, and he has gained a reputation as a performer prepared to constantly challenge and break down boundaries.
Amongst a varied and notorious TV career, Derren has played Russian Roulette live, convinced middle-managers to commit armed robbery, led the nation in a séance, stuck viewers at home to their sofas, successfully predicted the National Lottery, motivated a shy man to land a packed passenger plane at 30,000 feet, hypnotised another to assassinate Stephen Fry and created a zombie apocalypse for an unwitting participant after dramatically ending the world.
In THE PUSH (streaming on Netflix), he exposed the psychological secrets of obedience and social compliance with terrifying results, again creating must-watch television and passionate media debate worldwide. His show MIRACLE (which blows the roof off the dark world of evangelical faith-healing) is also a popular choice on Netflix. Derren’s most recent TV special, SACRIFICE, also steaming on Netflix, astonished audiences around the world as he attempted to persuade someone to make the ultimate sacrifice: lay down his life for a complete stranger.
In 2020, the great man celebrated twenty years on Channel 4 with DERREN BROWN, 20 YEARS OF MIND CONTROL: LIVE, a dedicated night honouring some of his most jaw-dropping moments on TV.
He has won various awards, which include a 2012 Best Entertainment BAFTA for DERREN BROWN: THE EXPERIMENTS, an RTS Award for Best Entertainment Programme (THE EXPERIMENTS) and a 2010 Broadcast Award for DERREN BROWN: THE EVENTS).
He has toured every year since 2003 with a series of live shows, which have won him two prestigious Olivier Awards – for SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (2006) and SVENGALI (2012). In 2018 he received his fifth nomination, for UNDERGROUND. This means Derren has had the largest number of nominations and wins for one-person shows in the history of the Olivier Awards.
In 2017 Derren recently made an enthusiastically embraced stage debut at the Atlantic Theater in New York with his show SECRET, winning the 2018 NY Drama Desk award for Unique Theatrical Entertainment. The show transferred to Broadway, in Nov 2019, enjoying a sell-out season at The Cort Theatre until early Jan 2020.
As an author, Derren has received much praise for his best-selling books, TRICKS OF THE MIND, CONFESSIONS OF A CONJUROR and HAPPY, which have, collectively, sold over a million copies worldwide. Transworld recently published A LITTLE HAPPIER, condensing the lessons of Derren Brown’s Sunday Times bestseller HAPPY into a series of thoughtful and inspiring mini-chapters.
Privately, Derren paints and photographs. His book PORTRAITS offers a collection of his early paintings, which have been exhibited at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery, London. A book of his street photography, MEET THE PEOPLE WITH LOVE, has been released, again by Transworld. Examples of his accomplished work can be viewed on his website and Instagram page.
He is currently preparing for SHOWMAN, a new UK tour for 2021.www.derrenbrown.co.uk

About SCARLET NEXUS
In the far distant future, a psionic hormone was discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changed the world as we knew it. As humanity entered this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a hunger for human brains. Impervious to conventional weapons, those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psychics, were our only chance to fight the onslaught from above and preserve humanity. Since then, psychics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force, humanity’s last line of defense.
A world created by the brain and technology, 「New Himuka」
The protagonist of the game, Yuito Sumeragi
