It looks like Little Nightmares II will be the last entry in the series produced by Tarsier Studios, as the developer's new owner states it will "focus on creating new IPs" henceforth. The comment comes as part of the Embracer Group's latest earnings report, which bought the team in question back in December 2019. Publisher Bandai Namco holds the rights to the IP, so it makes sense that Tarsier Studios' new owners would want the developer to make something of its own.
The full quote, as per IGN, reads: "Tarsier studios will, from now on, focus on creating new IPs." Embracer Group CEO Lars Wingefors goes on to congratulate the team for its success with the sequel and reveals that the first game was the reason the ever-growing publisher bought the studio. "Now, having that game created, they will move over to create new IPs, and I'm super excited, and that was the main reason we made this acquisition a bit over a year ago."
What do you want Tarsier Studios to do next? Another horror game or branch out into a new genre? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Please do. Make a new IP... Right after Little Nightmares 3, 4 and 5.
Kinda disappointed we may never get more of Little Nightmares, huge fan of both games, but I'm also very interested to see what Tarsier Studios does next.
@JustPlainLoco. They will still make little nightmares games.word up son
I'm okay with another horror game like little nightmare series 😃
Anyone recommend this series? Looks solid, however some advice from actual players is always good to have.
@AndyKazama Little Nightmares 2 has a demo on the PSStore if you'd like to see for yourself
Oooo how bout an online BR game with micro transactions that will continue to have new content added over then next 6 years!
Sounds like they’re almost happy to leave Little Nightmares behind them.
@AndyKazama It's awesome. I played both of them this week with my sons. We all loved them.
@Gmork___ lol
Hopefully they still make Little Nightmares 3 but just call it something else.
Similar to what From Software did with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. Perhaps Small Nightmares? Tiny Nightmares? I'm sure they'll think of something
@Hyperluminal thanks for the tip. Hopefully won't spoil much.
Godd dam it I need more little nightmares in my viens, number 2 is so so good.
@AndyKazama Really really good, the demo is only the first 15 mins so you're good and won't spoil. Its super well done
Making “new” ip, like, say, The City of Metronome? 😎
How about working on a new racing game where you’re flying though various asteroid fields, shooting through small rocks and debris and navigating around the big stuff? Make the setting Saturn 🪐 and have it be a really cool game show-type concept, like The Running Man or Smash TV but with flight/run-based levels (a la Space Harrier/World Runner). Work with the team who made the Red Faction games to incorporate all the cool destructible world-physics content that they’re so good at.
End result? They’d crush the competition. Or, perhaps they’d run rings around the competition. Either way works!
That's sad to hear. I hope who ever continues the series make a good job fitting for the series. Little nightmare series are a gem in the gaming world. Loved it soo much
