3 Popular Horror Games Coming to Switch This Year

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. Abylight will handle the porting process, expanding the availability of these chilling experiences.

Frictional Games, renowned for its contributions to the horror genre, has secured its place in gaming history with the Amnesia series and other notable titles. This collaboration fulfills a long-held desire among fans for more mature horror games on the Nintendo Switch. Players can anticipate experiencing the unique scares and narratives of these popular releases.

The agreement encompasses both digital and physical releases of SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker for the Nintendo Switch. These titles offer diverse horror experiences: SOMA explores sci-fi themes of AI and human existence; Amnesia: Rebirth revisits familiar gameplay mechanics from the Amnesia series; and Amnesia: The Bunker plunges players into the terrifying, semi-open world of World War I trenches.

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 library, Abylight Studios will also release a physical edition of the Amnesia Collection later this year. This collection features Amnesia: The Dark Descent (often lauded as one of the best horror games ever made) and its spiritual successor, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. While precise release dates remain unannounced, the anticipation is palpable among fans eager for more mature titles on the Nintendo Switch.

The influx of horror games onto the Switch sparks curiosity about the potential for a broader range of mature-rated titles on future Nintendo consoles. Fans are encouraged to stay updated for official release dates and further news on these and other horror game releases.
