Little Nightmares III downloadable content The Shores is available now as part of the Secrets of The Spiral expansion pass, publisher Bandai Namco and developer Supermassive Games announced, per Gematsu (September 29, 2026).
In Bandai Namco’s description, Low and Alone, reunited after traveling through a mirror and without Dime, reach a coastal biome of filthy stone, fishy air, and fog regularly cut by a lighthouse beacon. Flooded streets and empty houses set up encounters with hungry leeches and the looming Leech Monster. The path toward the lighthouse forces a dive into rushing sewers — open pipes, valves, propellers, and submerged rooms that demand careful breath management.
The base game already ships across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. The Shores is framed as the next story chapter inside the named expansion pass rather than a free update.
No standalone price for The Shores was announced at launch, and not every regional storefront makes clear whether the chapter is sold on its own or only through Secrets of The Spiral, so check your platform’s store before buying. For another Bandai Namco multiplatform release, see Ace Combat 8 Deluxe Early Access Is Live Now.
Horror fans who finished the base campaign and already own Secrets of The Spiral should see The Shores unlock in their library after the September 29 drop — restart the game or check DLC management if the chapter does not appear immediately. Players who only own the base game need to buy the pass (or a standalone Shores SKU if their storefront offers one) before the flooded biome will load.
Tone-wise, Supermassive and Bandai Namco are staying inside Little Nightmares’ quiet dread: no combat fantasy, just traversal pressure, creature avoidance, and lighthouse navigation. The Shores went live on September 29, 2026; at launch, Bandai Namco had not dated any further chapters in the Secrets of The Spiral pass.
