Top 3 Horror Games Hitting Switch in 2023

Abylight Studios has joined forces with Frictional Games to bring three chilling titles—SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker—to the Nintendo Switch in 2025. This partnership will allow fans to experience the horror and suspense of these acclaimed games on a new platform. Frictional Games, renowned for its contributions to the horror genre, has entrusted Abylight Studios with the task of porting these games, ensuring that players can immerse themselves in the terrifying worlds of these titles.

As Frictional Games transitions away from horror, their legacy within the genre remains strong, particularly with the Amnesia series. The anticipation among horror game enthusiasts for more titles on the Nintendo Switch is palpable, and these upcoming releases promise to deliver unique and gripping experiences.

After extensive negotiations, both studios have agreed to release SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker in both digital and physical formats for the Nintendo Switch. SOMA delves into sci-fi themes, exploring the complexities of artificial intelligence and human existence. Amnesia: Rebirth revisits the core gameplay elements that made the Amnesia series a fan favorite, while Amnesia: The Bunker plunges players into the harrowing setting of World War 1, challenging them to survive in a semi-open world environment. These games are set to launch on the Nintendo Switch in 2025, offering both digital and physical editions.

• SOMA
• Amnesia: Rebirth
• Amnesia: The Bunker
• Amnesia Collection (Physical Edition)

In addition to these three titles, a physical edition of the existing Amnesia Collection for the Nintendo Switch will be available later this year. This collection includes Amnesia: The Dark Descent, widely regarded as a seminal horror game, and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, a collaboration between Frictional Games and The Chinese Room. The excitement among fans is evident as they eagerly await these horror releases on the Nintendo Switch, although specific release dates for these ports have yet to be announced by either Abylight Studios or Frictional Games.

With the arrival of these horror games on the Switch, there is growing interest in whether future Nintendo consoles will offer a broader selection of mature-rated titles. Fans should keep an eye out for the official release dates of SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker on the Switch, as well as other updates in the horror gaming community.
