Ooh, this is exciting: Bandai Namco has obtained publishing rights to LittleBigPlanet Vita dev's aquatic horror game Hunger, which is now named Little Nightmares. Many had expected Sony to publish the game given its long-running relationship with the Swedish studio Tarsier Studios, but it's Bamco instead who's signed the project.
For those not familiar with the title, it sees you assume the role of a girl in a raincoat who's been captured and imprisoned in an eerie vessel named The Maw. This is psychological horror at its finest, as you must escape from weird and wonderful monsters who are out to eat you. There's no release date just yet, but more is expected to be revealed at Gamescom next week.
"Little Nightmares symbolises the evolution of our strategy to further strengthen the company portfolio with titles developed from all over the world," said Bandai Namco's Hervé Hoerdt. "As we continue to explore new ways to experience our IPs, we couldn't have found a better partner than Tarsier Studios to fulfil this vision."
We're pretty excited for this one – if you didn't watch the original, extended Hunger trailer, then you should definitely check that out through here. Are you liking what you've seen so far? Try not to feel peckish in the comments section below.

Was wondering what happened to this.
My only question, Is it for Vita?
@NomNom my question too.
Eh, not exciting enough for me. I mean, I'm glad that it is finally revived but still, I'm quite disappointed that it is no longer a Ps4 (or even PS vita) exclusive. That, and I don't have a lot of high expectations when it comes to Bamco's games like A.W. PF (hated the anime) and Sword Art Online. One of the games I was pretty disappointed was Gundam Extreme Force, Digimon (the gameplay was still fun though but the translation was atrocious) and even GE Resurrection (the graphics, characters, weapons, and multi-player Coopwas fine but, everything else like creating lobbies, Half of the voice acting, repetitive missions, reskins, tedious fights, and others prevented me from loving the game. I guess the plot was fine but it is nowhere near as good as SSD's plot). I guess I'm probably the only one that finds Bamco a bit overrated. The only games I like from them are Project X Zone, Tales, Ace Combat, Tekken and Jojo.
@SoulsBourne128 To be fair they take huge risks releasing niche titles in Europe. The Tales of games they have a really small audience just like the sword art online games. Thats why they have way less money to spend i guess. Lets be honest a RS/Sony/Capcom/Activision dont release here. Capcom being really terrible releasing games like RE not even on disc in Europe.
