The Amnesia series has solidified its place as a horror icon, with Amnesia: The Dark Descent terrifying players for years. Each installment introduces new themes and levels of fear, while retaining the series’ signature puzzle elements. The arrival of SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker on the Switch has been a long-awaited wish for fans, particularly after the release of the Amnesia Collection.
While these Amnesia titles, as well as SOMA, have been accessible on other platforms like PC, Xbox, and PlayStation through individual releases or backwards compatibility, this marks the first time the entire series will be playable on the Nintendo Switch. This announcement coincides with ongoing rumors surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2, leading some to speculate about the series’ potential availability on Nintendo’s next console.
Regardless of future console releases, fans will soon have the opportunity to delve into the complete Amnesia series and experience some of the most acclaimed horror games wherever they go. With five titles in total – Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, SOMA, Amnesia: Rebirth, and Amnesia: The Bunker – players will have a wealth of chilling gameplay to explore. With Frictional Games planning to shift away from horror game development, this is an opportune moment to experience these masterpieces.
