SOMA and Latest Amnesia Titles Set for Nintendo Switch Release in 2025

Abylight Studios has officially announced that three acclaimed horror titles developed by Frictional Games—SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker—will be coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2025.

This highly anticipated launch will see both digital and physical editions released later this year, further expanding the horror game offerings on the Switch.

SOMA, originally released in 2015 for PC and PlayStation 4, is widely regarded as one of the genre’s modern masterpieces.

Set in the haunting underwater research facility PATHOS-II, players navigate a world where they must search for remaining survivors while confronting unnerving creatures and advanced AI exhibiting human qualities.

The title received critical acclaim for its atmospheric storytelling and unique approach to existential horror, with many fans and critics often listing it among the best horror games of the last decade. Frictional Games built on this legacy with the Amnesia series, which has become synonymous with psychological horror experiences.

Amnesia: Rebirth, which debuted in 2020, transports players to the caves of the Algerian desert.

Returning to the series’ roots, Rebirth revitalizes the popular fear mechanic introduced in The Dark Descent, though it introduces tweaks such as unique responses to player death and altered gameplay progression.

Rebirth garnered praise for its narrative depth and atmospheric design, continuing the franchise’s trend of delivering powerful, immersive gameplay. The most recent addition, Amnesia: The Bunker, launched in 2023.

The game is set during World War I and places players in the role of a French soldier navigating a perilous, semi-open bunker environment.

Unlike previous Amnesia titles, The Bunker offers more exploratory freedom while maintaining high tension, as players evade a relentless, photosensitive monster.

Critics and players alike have noted how this evolution enhances replayability and campaign variety. The Nintendo Switch platform has already welcomed Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs through the Amnesia: Collection, with a physical version scheduled for release later this year.

With the addition of SOMA, Rebirth, and The Bunker, Switch owners will now have access to the complete mainline portfolio of Frictional Games’ horror catalog. While Frictional Games and Abylight Studios have not provided a specific release date for these new Switch ports, they confirmed that further announcements—including details for the physical editions—will be available soon via the Abylight Shop.

This move continues Nintendo’s ongoing partnership with esteemed indie and third-party developers, highlighting the Switch’s status as a premier platform for diverse and top-quality gaming experiences. Reception for these titles has been consistently strong; reviews from industry outlets such as Push Square scored SOMA at 8 out of 10 and recognized it as a standout horror experience, while Amnesia: Rebirth and Amnesia: The Bunker both maintain solid reputations among dedicated fans.

For horror enthusiasts and Nintendo Switch collectors, 2025 marks an exciting year as these acclaimed titles make their way onto both digital storefronts and store shelves.

Stay tuned for more updates as Abylight Studios and Frictional Games prepare to bring their signature terror to Nintendo’s best-selling console.
