Reanimal, Tarsier Studios’ First New Game Since Little Nightmares 2, Launches February 2026 With Demo Available Now

Tarsier Studios, the acclaimed developer behind the first two Little Nightmares titles, has officially revealed the release date for its next major project. Reanimal, the studio’s newest horror adventure, will arrive on February 13, 2026, launching simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S.

The announcement comes only hours before Reanimal is set to receive a new showcase during the upcoming Xbox Partner Preview event, reinforcing the studio’s earlier statement from August that the game would debut in the first quarter of 2026. The timing also signals strong confidence from Tarsier as it transitions into a new creative era following the enormous success and cultural impact of the Little Nightmares franchise.

Players eager to secure their copy can now pre order Reanimal for USD 39.99 across all major platforms. For those who want a first look before committing, a fully playable demo is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series consoles, and PC. A Nintendo Switch 2 demo is also confirmed, though it will arrive at a later date.

With Reanimal, Tarsier Studios appears ready to expand its signature dark atmospheric craftsmanship while introducing a fresh style of horror rooted in creature-driven tension and surreal world design. The upcoming Xbox presentation is expected to shed more light on the game’s mechanics, narrative, and audiovisual direction, making this a standout title for early 2026.
