Titan Comics has announced it is teaming up with Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe to publish a brand-new series of comics in 2025; set in the disturbing world of the successful video game franchise, Little Nightmares.

Titan Comics’ Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere #1 is written by Lonnie Nadler also known as the showrunner and lead writer for The Sounds of Nightmares, the Little Nightmares podcast, with art by Ringo Award nominated artist Dennis Menheere. The issue will take readers in an investigation story navigating between the Nowhere, a nightmarish world filled with frightening inhabitants, and the Counties, an equivalent to our world. The series will include 4 issues and a graphic novel collection.

The comic series launches in comic stores in 2025, but fans attending New York Comic Con 2024 can stop by Bandai Namco’s booth #2319 for an exclusive early preview. 

Little Nightmares franchise offers a deep universe to discover on different platforms with already 2 console games, a mobile game and a podcast series available. 

Within this universe each of your childhood fears becomes true. After vanishing without a trace, children wake up in a vast nightmare reality filled with monsters, where survival comes at a cost, and escape is nearly impossible. However, a glimmer of hope remains, full of innocence, the children always seek to find a way out. They can count on their curiosity and ingenuity to escape various monstruous threats and solve puzzles and mysteries. 

The first game in the series was released in 2017. After this success, the franchise was exported to the mobile platform with Very Little Nightmares, before returning to its origins, on all platforms (Sony, Xbox, PC, Nintendo) with Little Nightmares II in 2021. But the adventure does not stop here, Little Nightmares III has been announced for 2025 and introduces two new characters, trying to find a way out of the Nowhere. For the first time in the franchise, the game introduces a long-awaited feature: online co-operation for two players!

The franchise also expanded on audio streaming platforms with a popular, award-winning audio fiction series, The Sounds of Nightmares, which launched in August 2023. This eerie psychological thriller podcast was the first story to introduce the world of The Counties to the Little Nightmares community and has been successful hitting 2 million listenings worldwide. 

Look for more announcements of the new Little Nightmares comic series very shortly!

Review: Little Nightmares #1

Posted on by

Little Nightmares by Tarsier Studios is a strange, dark, and heavy little indie game experience for Windows, PS4, and XBox One. The comic tie-in from Titan Comics is no different. If you can’t play it yourself, you can check it out on Twitch. The comics don’t venture quite into the same story as the game, which follows a little girl in a yellow raincoat named Six. Instead, we find Six tumbling into a room of other children much like her who have found themselves trapped by the grotesque adults bent on snuffing them out. The others encourage Six to share her story lest she forget it. When she can’t, they instead tell their own in order to help her remember. That is the meat of the story in these comics, if you’ll pardon the pun. If you don’t get it, well, you will after watching or playing the game. And trust me, the context will be necessary.

The visuals here are a good meshing between the game team’s concept art and their final on-screen product, striking a balance of strange and grotesque body diversity in the monstrous adults that the game often couldn’t achieve in the end. While John Shackleford’s writing mixed with Aaron Alexovich’s art and Thiago Ribeiro’s colors are a great combination, it’s definitely notable for me that none of the team from Tarsier Studios seems to have been listed as involved in the comic. The creative team decidedly had a vision for Little Nightmares and specifically Six that I feel played out to the game’s detriment at times. The comic team doesn’t shy away from that vision but instead works around it to create something that works well with the medium.

Overall, this comic is interesting and weaves a haunting story but it runs into the same problem that the game does: it may be too vague and understated for its own good. It leaves the reader and/or player unsatisfied with the few scraps they’re given in terms of lore and world building. However, this comic does give me some hope for the comic shedding more light onto the game for second playthroughs.

Story: 8.0 Art: 8.0 Overall: 8.0
Recommendation: Grab it if you’re invested, Pass otherwise

Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe & Titan Comics Announce Little Nightmares Comics – Based On The Highly Anticipated Video Game!

Posted on by

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe and Titan Comics have announced the creation of comics based on the upcoming, highly anticipated 3D puzzle-platformer Little Nightmares! The Little Nightmares video game is scheduled to hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam platforms on April 28th, 2017 and, to tie-in with the release, Titan Comics’ Little Nightmares Issue #1 hits stores in May.

Strange, spooky and surreal, Little Nightmares is the first collaboration between BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe and Tarsier Studios – the Swedish team best known for their award winning work on a PS Vita game in 2012.

This four-issue mini-series delightfully connects to the deranged video game, which follows Six, a little girl, who tumbles into a den of ravenous creatures beneath The Maw – a grim feeding trough for the swollen, corrupted souls of the world. A place where excess is encouraged and dark secrets kept far out of sight.

Titan Comics’ Little Nightmares Issue #1 is written by Dan Watters and Alex Paknadel with art by Aaron Alexovich.
