Abylight Studios has joined forces with Frictional Games to bring a thrilling lineup of horror games to the Nintendo Switch in 2025. This exciting collaboration will see the release of SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker, introducing these chilling experiences to Switch players. Frictional Games, renowned for their contributions to the horror genre, has entrusted Abylight Studios with the task of porting these titles, ensuring that fans can immerse themselves in the unique scares and stories these games offer.
While Frictional Games may be shifting away from horror, their legacy in the genre remains strong, particularly with the Amnesia series. The anticipation among fans for more horror games on the Nintendo Switch has been palpable, and this partnership promises to fulfill those desires with three highly anticipated releases.
Following successful negotiations, both digital and physical editions of SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker will be available for Nintendo Switch in 2025. SOMA delves into sci-fi themes, exploring artificial intelligence and the essence of human existence. Amnesia: Rebirth brings back the familiar gameplay elements that fans loved from the earlier Amnesia titles, while Amnesia: The Bunker plunges players into the harrowing trenches of World War 1, offering a semi-open world survival experience. Each of these games will be accessible in both digital and physical formats, catering to the preferences of all Switch gamers.
