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. This collaboration will introduce these chilling experiences to a new audience on the Switch platform. Abylight Studios will handle the porting process for these three titles.

Frictional Games, renowned for its impactful horror games, has built a strong legacy within the genre. The upcoming Switch releases will further satisfy the growing demand for high-quality horror games on the Nintendo console. Players can anticipate unique gameplay and narrative experiences across these three distinct titles.

Initially planned for a digital and physical release later this year, SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker will now launch on the Nintendo Switch in 2025. These games offer diverse horror experiences: SOMA explores sci-fi themes and existential questions; Amnesia: Rebirth returns to familiar gameplay mechanics of the series; and Amnesia: The Bunker immerses players in a terrifying World War I setting within a semi-open world.

Upcoming Horror Releases for Nintendo Switch:

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

Adding to the excitement, a physical edition of the Amnesia Collection for Nintendo Switch is slated for release later this year. This collection includes the critically acclaimed Amnesia: The Dark Descent and its successor, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. While precise release dates remain unannounced, anticipation is high among fans eager to experience these titles on the Switch.

The influx of mature-rated horror games on the Switch raises speculation about future Nintendo consoles potentially offering a broader selection of similar titles. Fans are encouraged to stay updated for official release dates and further news regarding these and other horror game releases.
