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 handheld console.
Frictional Games, renowned for its contributions to the horror genre, has entrusted Abylight Studios with the porting process.

Adding to the excitement, Abylight Studios will also release a physical edition of the Amnesia Collection for Nintendo Switch later in 2024. This collection includes the seminal Amnesia: The Dark Descent and its sequel, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.
While specific release dates remain unannounced, the anticipation is palpable among horror fans.
