Bandai Namco notes that PC players will be able to adjust these options independently. The enhanced version of Little Nightmares 2 also includes “immersive audio” for players using 5.1 or 7.1 speakers or headphones, along with 4K support.Īfter installing the update, players can choose between Beauty Mode, which delivers 30fps at 4k, or Performance Mode, which delivers 60fps with up to 4K dynamic resolution.

Rounding out the visual addition are interactive particles that “realistically jump and swirl in the air as the character moves through a scene,” but that’s not the end of it. The enhanced version of Little Nightmares 2 aims to deliver an already rich atmospheric experience – following the adventures of the new protagonist Mono and the returning character Six through the gritty streets of Pale City – a the enhancement is even sadder with a bunch of mostly visual enhancements.įor starters, there are ray-tracing reflectors, which bring direct reflections to Little Nightmare’s various shiny surfaces, as well as improved volumetric shadows – as publisher Bandai Namco explains likes in his announcement post, “adds more depth and detail to every subject and enhances how light rays are interrupted by moving objects”.

Granted, there are ways the team could have gotten around that, even switching over to a cut scene would have worked just fine, but keeping total control over the second character allowed Little Nightmares 2 to deliver the big Thin Man payoff with maximum dramatic effect.Tarsier Studio Little Nightmares 2’s wildly sinister platform horror just got a little spookier today on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, thanks to a free Enhanced Edition update. It seems extremely unlikely a player would want to have Six drop Mono to his death, especially if they were a co-op partner. It stands to reason that if someone was controlling Mono and another player was controlling Six, the big payoff would have been harder to produce. Marvik even talked about how he thought players controlling both characters would "ruin" the story. He mentioned that the developer thought handing over control to one of the characters wouldn't allow the story to unfold like it wanted. When Marvik was explaining why there isn't a co-op feature in Little Nightmares 2, he talked about how they decided to make the second character AI controlled. Outside the game, one particular interview with senior narrative designer Dave Marvik included several hints in hindsight. Six thought she could drop Mono to his death and, essentially, end the nightmare before it begins. It's possible that once she sees who Mono really is, or is going to become at some point, she realizes that she might be able to kill the villain before he becomes a threat. Considering that Six is able to see her friend better and that she seems to stare hard right at Mono before dropping him, it appears as though she notices the similarities in her companion and the evil presence. The man, or perhaps the creature, is the main antagonist of Little Nightmares 2. When the blob dissipates and moves on, where Mono once stood is now the Thin Man. Once Mono meets his fate, players realize it appears it truly is a fate worse than death. It turns out it appears this was the reason for introducing a second character into Little Nightmares 2 all along.

The final reveal, after Mono is caught by the blob of eyeballs, is hinted at throughout the game. It appears that, since Six is no longer wearing any of her many hats in Little Nightmares 2, she can see Mono for who he truly is, or rather, she might finally be able to see him for what he eventually becomes. However, it turns out Mono has a very good reason for seemingly killing her new friend. The heroine seems to take a rather dark turn it even looks like perhaps she's turned bad. This time, after catching Mono, Six lets him go and the blob of eyeballs ends up catching him. That makes this particular twist that much more painful. The moment in Little Nightmares 2 mirrors several other scenes throughout the game where Six has saved her companion from falling and dying. Six lands safely and successfully, and is able to turn around and catch Mono just as he's about to miss and fall. Eventually, the two need to make a rather big jump over a deep crevasse. Six is transformed by Mono into her regular form, and this allows the pair to stay just ahead of the disgusting villain. Mono saves Six from the clutches of the game's Big Bad, the mushy blob of eyeballs. As the penultimate scene in Little Nightmares 2 unfolds, it seems as if players are going to get to see both characters run off into the sunset, or in this case, the sunrise.
