Hello Neighbor 3 is officially in development, bringing fans back to the unsettling world of Raven Brooks. Announced by tinyBuild, this most recent addition to the immensely popular survival horror stealth series seeks to replicate the creepy appeal of the first game while adding fresh gameplay features and deeper investigation. Already enjoyed by over 40 million players on PC and other platforms, the series looks set to evolve even further with this next chapter.

Back to the Roots: A Return to Raven Brooks

Players of Hello Neighbour 3 will once more find themselves negotiating the eerie and enigmatic town of Raven Brooks, a site familiar to series fans. Unlike its predecessors, the game promises a deeper sandbox experience so players may explore every nook and corner of this half-abandoned town. Under the direction of franchise creator Nikita Kolesnikov, the development team is returning to basics in line with the first game, emphasizing complex stealth techniques and player-driven discovery.

What Can Players Expect?

Hello Neighbor 3 isn’t just a stealth game—it’s a full simulation where every choice matters. The game challenges players to negotiate their surroundings and engage with a variety of intricate systems using creative problem-solving. Raven Brooks is not empty; it is rather full of different NPCs with individual backstories, personalities, and goals. Deeper into the story, players will discover long-buried secrets and lost memories.

The game's focus on player choice and consequence lends yet another level of suspense. Every action you do might set off unanticipated events that might turn into disastrous results for the whole town. No two runs will ever be exactly the same using this systems-based approach.

Developer Insights and Open Development Approach

Nikita Kolesnikov expressed in a statement his excitement for the fresh Hello Neighbor 3 direction:

“Really excited to keep the development of Hello Neighbor 3 in an open format, sharing our journey,” said Kolesnikov. “Fingers crossed, early alphas will soon be available to try out!”

Fans can expect a behind-the-scenes view of the creative process and hopefully, early access builds will give us all a taste of what is to come!

What’s Next for Hello Neighbor 3?

As tinyBuild releases more on the development of the game, players can expect future updates and behind-the-scenes looks even though it is still under active development. Early alpha versions are expected soon, which will give the community the opportunity to participate and offer comments.
