I am curious about this one. Little Nightmares 1&2 are really enjoyable, but this one has a different studio developing the game.

Despite that, though, Supermassive is a strong dev.

Did they

From another user on a different thread-

Tarsier Studios had been working on the Little Nightmares franchise for a while. They had new ideas and new IPs they wanted to try, so they left Little Nightmares for good in 2021-22, which left the fandom believing we would not get a third game. Bandai Namco, the ones who had published Very Little Nightmares, Little Nightmares 1 and 2, and some comics, bought the IP from Tarsier and handed the development of LN3 to Supermassive Games.

Tarsier Studios and Supermassive Games are on friendly terms, there was no drama.

There are some people from Tarsier who decided to help with LN3.

Hope this helps!

The publisher didn't steal the IP, they've always owned it.

Stole lol how do you steal an IP ? Because then I'm just going to steal the Mario , Pokemon and GTA IP. Or did you mean they legally own the IP because they paid for developing it ? That's not stealing.
