Tarsier Studios teases its next game after Little Nightmares II

destructoid.com:

Over the years, Tarsier Studios has become one of those predictably unpredictable game makers that I’m always eager to check in on. The Malmö, Sweden-based studio has been quiet since wrapping up Little Nightmares II for Bandai Namco (which may or may not continue the series elsewhere, given all of its success), but we’re expecting new IPs.

This week on Twitter, Tarsier Studios shared a new teaser video with a coy message: “We’ve been busy.” Presumably, it’s a vibe check for the next big game idea.

While I’m not exactly sure how to classify the blink-and-you’ll-miss-’em clips, the visual concepts are dark and intriguing in a very Tarsier way. I’m sticking with the “Horror” tag for this article, and we’ll have to check back someday to see if that was apt.

Aside from Little Nightmares, the team also brought us The Stretchers on Switch, Tearaway Unfolded on PS4, and Statik — one of my all-time favorite PlayStation VR games.

Recently, Tarsier Studios posted a listing for a lead game designer role, and there’s a little more context about what’s in store and what their goals are. In the job listing, the “mid-size” studio said it was currently “in the process of creating two new games.”

“At this moment in time, we are not ready to say what the games are or what genre they will be in. HOWEVER what we can tell you is that standards are incredibly high and promise that you will be making world class games.

“We want to believe in the worlds we create. Our games should feel authentic, fearless, imaginative, and memorable; forging a connection between the player and the game that leaves a lasting impression … or a permanent scar. We do that
