Abylight Studios has joined forces with Frictional Games to introduce three chilling horror titles to the Nintendo Switch in 2025: SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker. This exciting collaboration allows fans of the horror genre to experience these gripping narratives on the go. Frictional Games, renowned for their contributions to horror gaming, has entrusted Abylight Studios with the task of porting these games to the Switch platform, ensuring a seamless transition for players.

Frictional Games, though shifting their focus away from horror, has left an indelible mark on the genre with the Amnesia series and other standalone titles. The anticipation among fans for more horror games on the Nintendo Switch has been high, and this partnership promises to fulfill that demand with three beloved titles.

After successful negotiations, Abylight Studios and Frictional Games have agreed to release both digital and physical editions of SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker on the Nintendo Switch in 2025. SOMA delves into sci-fi horror, exploring themes of artificial intelligence and the essence of human existence. Amnesia: Rebirth revisits the classic gameplay mechanics of the Amnesia series, while Amnesia: The Bunker immerses players in the harrowing atmosphere of a World War 1 bunker, offering a semi-open world survival experience. Each game will be available in both digital and physical formats, catering to different preferences among gamers.
