Soma and Amnesia Series Set for Nintendo Switch Release Through Abylight and Frictional Games Partnership

In a significant announcement for horror game fans, both Soma and a suite of titles from the acclaimed Amnesia series are officially headed to the Nintendo Switch platform.

The news comes via a newly formed partnership between publisher Abylight and Frictional Games, the celebrated Swedish studio behind these genre-defining franchises.

This partnership broadens the Switch library and marks the debut of these iconic horror titles on the console. Among the games announced for future release are Soma, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker.

While exact release dates have yet to be confirmed, both companies have clarified that Nintendo Switch players can expect these titles to arrive at some point in 2025. Soma, originally launched in 2015, is renowned for blending psychological horror with science fiction.

Set deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean, players navigate a hostile underwater facility where existential dread and survival challenges intertwine.

The game’s haunting narrative and immersive atmosphere earned it widespread critical acclaim, cementing its reputation as a modern horror classic. Amnesia: Rebirth, which debuted in 2020, serves as a spiritual successor to the groundbreaking Amnesia: The Dark Descent.

Players step into the shoes of Tasi Trianon, who must survive the dangers of a desolate Algerian desert while unraveling long-buried secrets from her past.

The game's mechanics, which emphasize sanity management and environmental puzzles, push players to face their fears head-on in an environment where darkness, monsters, and unraveling memories threaten their survival. Released in 2023, Amnesia: The Bunker introduces players to a harrowing World War I setting.

Set amid the claustrophobic corridors of a wartime bunker, players must outwit an ever-present, AI-driven monster while scrounging for resources and keeping the lights on.

The game’s procedural scares and open-ended survival elements deliver a fresh take on the first-person horror formula Frictional Games is known for. In addition to these freshly announced ports, Abylight and Frictional Games confirmed that the Amnesia Collection, already available on the Nintendo eShop, will receive a physical release on Nintendo Switch in 2025.

This compilation features three monumental titles: Amnesia: The Dark Descent, A Machine For Pigs, and Justine—a welcome addition for collectors and horror genre enthusiasts alike. Commenting on the collaboration, representatives from Abylight emphasized the significance of bringing such influential horror franchises to the Nintendo Switch, noting the platform’s growing appetite for story-rich, atmospheric experiences. The surge of premium horror games arriving on the Nintendo Switch demonstrates the system’s maturation as a home for both indie hits and renowned legacy titles.

With the arrival of Soma, Amnesia: Rebirth, Amnesia: The Bunker, and the physical Amnesia Collection, 2025 is poised to be a landmark year for horror fans on the platform.
