Little Nightmares 2‘s Enhanced Edition is finally available on Nintendo Switch 2.
Tarsier Studios’ sinister platform horror Little Nightmares 2 released the Enhanced Edition for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC way back in 2021, but this is the first time the second game is playable on Nintendo’s second Switch console.
While the upgraded version had been given away for free for owners of the original, uh, non-enhanced versions on prior platforms, Little Nightmares 2: Enhanced Edition is the only version available for Nintendo Switch 2, which is why it costs £24.99.
Little Nightmares 2’s Enhanced Edition aims to give the already richly atmospheric experience – which follows the adventures of new protagonist Mono and returning character Six through the grim streets of Pale City – an even moodier boost with a range of primarily visual enhancements, including ray-traced reflections, improved loading times, higher resolution and “increased game details such as interactive particles”.
The new enhanced 3D soundscape mix “also creates a more immersive experience in Little Nightmares 2”.
As I wrote in my Recommended Eurogamer Little Nightmares 2 review, “While my every instinct is to tell you that Little Nightmares 2 is a frustrating encounter that’s likely better watched than played, I can’t help but admit I love it – fervently and ferociously – even if it was such an unmitigated ballache to play to completion.”
