Fans of Little Nightmares 3 will find plenty to enjoy in The Backstage, since it carries forward the franchise’s penchant for maintaining a creepy atmosphere throughout its runtime. Its story seemingly revolves around an entirely new character that will have to make clever use of various light sources to survive the horrors that are trying to hunt them down.

Among the major threats showcased in the trailer for The Backstage is a level where the player has to sneak through a giant-sized kitchen while a large woman is ominously cooking in the background. At one point, she spots the player, however, who then has to quickly escape after stunning the woman with a bright flash of light.

Owing to the entirely wordless nature of Little Nightmares 3, it is difficult to tell whether The Backstage will feature any story links to the base game or if it will be an entirely new story altogether.

Little Nightmares 3: The Backstage is coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and the Nintendo Switch 2 on 12th June. The DLC is also included in Little Nightmares 3: Secrets of the Spiral expansion pass. The DLC will be the first “Additional Chapter” that was promised as part of the pass, with a second “Additional Chapter” slated for release between October and December 2026.
