Abylight Studios and Frictional Games Partner to Bring Horror to Nintendo Switch
Abylight Studios is collaborating with Frictional Games to port three acclaimed horror titles to the Nintendo Switch in 2025: SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker. This partnership will allow Switch players to experience the chilling narratives and intense gameplay that Frictional Games is renowned for. Although Frictional Games is shifting away from the horror genre, their legacy remains strong, particularly with the Amnesia series, which has garnered a dedicated fanbase eagerly awaiting these new ports.
SOMA delves into sci-fi horror, exploring themes of artificial intelligence and human existence. Amnesia: Rebirth revisits the familiar gameplay mechanics that fans loved from previous Amnesia games, while Amnesia: The Bunker introduces a semi-open world set during World War 1, challenging players to survive in a gripping environment. These titles will be available both digitally and physically on the Nintendo Switch, offering fans multiple options to enjoy these terrifying adventures.
