Nintendo Switch to Receive Trio of Frictional Games in 2025

Abylight Studios and Frictional Games have partnered to bring three acclaimed horror titles to the Nintendo Switch in 2025: SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker. This collaboration will introduce these chilling experiences to a new audience on the Nintendo platform.

Frictional Games, renowned for its influential horror games, has entrusted Abylight Studios with the porting process. This marks a significant addition to the Switch's horror library, fulfilling many fans' requests for more mature titles on the console.

The partnership extends beyond the digital releases. Both digital and physical editions of SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker are slated for a 2025 Nintendo Switch launch. These games offer diverse horror experiences: SOMA's sci-fi exploration of AI and existence, Amnesia: Rebirth's return to classic Amnesia gameplay, and Amnesia: The Bunker's terrifying semi-open world set in the trenches of World War I.

Upcoming Horror Releases for Nintendo Switch:

  • SOMA
  • Amnesia: Rebirth
  • Amnesia: The Bunker
  • Amnesia Collection (Physical Edition - Later this year)

Further bolstering the Switch's horror offerings, Abylight Studios will also release a physical edition of the Amnesia Collection later in 2024. This collection includes the critically acclaimed Amnesia: The Dark Descent and its sequel, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.

While precise release dates remain unannounced, the arrival of these titles signals a welcome expansion of mature-rated games on the Nintendo Switch. Fans eagerly anticipate further updates regarding release dates and other horror game announcements for both the Switch and future Nintendo consoles.
