Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe has published a news post (discovered via NintendoLife) on its official website in celebration of Little Nightmares 2 becoming the publisher’s fastest-selling game ever. In just under a month since release, the game has sold a whopping 1 million copies, bringing the total sales of the Little Nightmares franchise as a whole to 5 million.
In the news post, Herve Hoerdt – Senior Vice President of Marketing, Content and Digital at Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe – speaks a little about the success of Little Nightmares and thanks fans for their continued support:
“We’re very proud of the success of Little Nightmares and really grateful with how fans have embraced the universe through the games and the comics, putting their minds to work to find the wildest theories about Little Nightmares.”
Hoerdt also mentions that he can’t wait to share what’s next for the Little Nightmares franchise, which is a little strange considering the franchise’s developer, Tarsier Studios, was acquired by Embracer Group back in 2019. Embracer Group recently revealed that Tarsier is going to be put to work developing new IP’s since the Little Nightmares franchise actually belongs to Bandai Namco.
He doesn’t outright confirm it, but his statement hints that a different developer is going to be behind any future Little Nightmares projects. With the impressive sales of Little Nightmares 2 and the franchise overall, it’s no surprise that Bandai Namco wants to continue making Little Nightmares games despite the loss of Tarsier Studios.
Little Nightmares 2 released on February 11th and has players take on the role of Mono, a small boy with a paper bag on his head. Players are tasked with traversing a number of hostile environments avoiding a host of new horrors along the way. Little Nightmares 2 is currently available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia. It can also be played on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility, but next-gen versions of the game will be released later this year.
