Nintendo Switch Welcomes Frictional Games' Horror Classics in 2025
Abylight Studios and Frictional Games have partnered to bring a chilling collection of horror titles to the Nintendo Switch. SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker will all be released digitally and physically on the Switch in 2025. This collaboration will introduce these critically acclaimed games to a new audience.
Frictional Games, renowned for its immersive and terrifying horror experiences, has entrusted Abylight Studios with the porting process. This exciting news follows the studio's shift away from horror game development, solidifying its legacy with these iconic releases. The announcement has been met with enthusiastic responses from Switch owners eager for more mature titles on the platform.
The upcoming Switch releases include:
- SOMA: A sci-fi horror exploring themes of artificial intelligence and human existence.
- Amnesia: Rebirth: A return to the classic Amnesia gameplay, delivering familiar scares in a new setting.
- Amnesia: The Bunker: A terrifying semi-open-world experience set in the trenches of World War I.
Adding to the excitement, a physical edition of the Amnesia Collection (containing Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs) will also launch on the Switch later this year. This provides a perfect opportunity for fans to catch up before the 2025 releases.
While precise release dates remain unannounced, the arrival of these highly anticipated titles promises to significantly expand the horror game library on the Nintendo Switch. Gamers are eagerly awaiting further updates from Abylight Studios and Frictional Games. The success of these ports may also influence the availability of mature-rated titles on future Nintendo consoles.
