‘SOMA’ Arrives on the Nintendo Switch on July 24 [Trailer]
Frictional Games announced way back in January their intention to bring SOMA and the remaining Amnesia titles to the Nintendo Switch. SOMA will be the first out of the gate, as Abylight Studios and Frictional have announced a July 24th release date. And for Switch 2 owners, the game will be compatible with the new handheld.
Originally released for PC via Steam way back in 2015, SOMA will arrive on Nintendo’s console in a “complete and optimized version,” ensuring that the game gets the maximum performance from the system.
SOMA sees players dive headfirst into PATHOS-II, a desolate underwater research facility where the lines between human and machine blur. As you explore the eerie, submerged corridors under the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll be thrust into a fight for survival against a hostile world that forces you to confront the very nature of consciousness and what it truly means to be human. Renowned for its profound narrative and unsettling atmosphere, SOMA has earned a formidable Metacritic score of 84, cementing its place as a genre-defining psychological thriller. We didn’t think it was too bad of a game, either.
In addition to PC and the Switch, SOMA is also available for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.
During the Future Games Show, Bandai Namco and Supermassive have announced the first DLC for Little Nightmares III in “The Backstage”. Featuring new puzzles and challenges, this additional content will take players to the darkest part of the Carnevale, where they’ll meet a new character and face new perils. You won’t have to wait long to get it, either, as Little Nightmares III – The Backstage DLC will release on June 12.
In this new adventure, Low will meet Dime, a new child who wears a torch hat, which turns out to be a very helpful tool for finding their way in what lies beneath the curtains of The Carnevale. The two children will have to face new threats and use their light to find a way to save Alone from the hands of the Puppeteer.
In the original game, players meet Low and Alone, who are trapped within the Spiral, a cluster of disturbing places. The two will have to work together to survive in a dangerous world full of delusions. As they scamper and shelter on their journey to escape the grasp of an even greater threat, their senses may also lead them astray into the shadows.
Little Nightmares III is currently available for PC via Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
