The game arrives nearly 20 years after the franchise first premiered on the world stage, and in that time it has grown into one of Nintendo's marquee properties, appearing on almost all of the company's modern consoles and shifting millions of copies worldwide.

No doubt Playdead is scheming all new ways to creep us all out with its third game. Playdead is iconic for a number of reasons at this point. Limbo and Inside, while very different games in a lot of ways, have made a bit of a trademark for the indie studio as a developer of haunting and rather creepy platforming games.
