Little Nightmares II once again features protagonist Six, but at a backseat to new playable character Mono, in a setting that feels familiar but also marks a shift from the interiors of the original games’ Maw.
The sequel is currently slated for an early 2021 release on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. The playable demo will reportedly be available for the other platforms next year.
Kieron started gaming on the SEGA Master System, with Sonic the Hedgehog, Alex Kidd and Wonder Boy. The 20-odd years of his life since have not seen his love for platformers falter even slightly. A separate love affair, this time with JRPGs, developed soon after being introduced to Final Fantasy VIII (ie, the best in the series). Further romantic subplots soon blossomed with quirky Japanese games, the occasional flashy AAA action adventure, and an unhealthy number of indie gems. To say that Kieron lies at the center of a tangled, labyrinthine web of sexy video game love would be an understatement.
