What frightens For the first time in the series you see Little Nightmares through your own eyes in VR, as Dark Six, a figure shaped like a little girl, crossing a twisted world where every room feels slightly wrong, your small size meets grotesque giants, and danger is always lurking in the dark.
Content: violence, fear, motion sickness.

Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes is a VR adventure-puzzle game in the Little Nightmares series, made by Iconik and published by Bandai Namco in 2026. You play Dark Six, a figure shaped like a little girl, solving puzzles and escaping giant foes in a disturbing world as you search for the part of yourself you have lost.

About Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes

Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes was developed by Iconik and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment in April 2026. It is the first game in the Little Nightmares series made for first-person virtual reality, released for PC VR, PlayStation VR2 and Meta Quest.

You are Dark Six, a mysterious figure with the shape of a little girl, on a haunting journey to recover what was lost: herself. Only by reuniting with her other self can she escape a monstrous fate, and the clues tie into Six's story and the series' enigmatic Transmission.

The store sells it on the feeling of being small in VR. Your fragility as a child collides with the grotesque scale of your surroundings, every corridor and object feels slightly wrong, and danger lurks in the darkness. Each interaction reveals intricate puzzles, hidden paths and secrets, and terrifying giant foes wait in strange new places.

It suits fans of the Little Nightmares games who own a VR headset and want to step inside that world rather than watch it from the side. An update after launch added comfort options such as smooth turning.
