Little Hope is a survival horror game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

It is a sequel to Man of Medan released in 2019 as part of the The Dark Pictures Anthology. Little Hope features smoother dialogue transitions, faster walking animations and walking speed, and increased camera control compared to Man of Medan.

Announced in April 2020, Little Hope was planned to be released in summer 2020 but was delayed to fall 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.[2][3] It uses Unreal Engine 4 and was released on Steam on October 30, 2020.
