Horror could be the genre to watch on Nintendo Switch in 2018. Not only have we Layers Of Fear: Legacy on the horizon - check out our interview with the developers for more info - and the first two Outlast games, but now we've got the potential to add some more psychological fearscapes to the mix in the form of The Room series and the Amnesia games.

Both of the respective developers behind each franchise are considering bringing one or more of their games to the handheld console, if a set of tweets in response to fan questions are to be believed. Amnesia and SOMA developer Frictional Games says it, "can't make any solid promises right now," but that it promises, "to keep everyone on Twitter updated with further developments." The Room developer Fireproof Games says it's, "definitely something we're considering!" So nothing set in stone, but considering the momentum Switch continues to build, it's hardly a hollow hope.

You can now scream after finding a bag of milky ways......on the go!!!!

But seriously though, that's awesome if it happens. Being able to play the Amnesia games on the go would be fun.

Can't wait to scream like a frightened child while playing Amnesia on the bus.

You're tearing me apart Lisa.

Bring over SOMA, the true best Frictional game of all time.

But on topic, the more games the merrier! Amnesia is a fantastic series.

Yes please!

Amnesia is one of the games that is collecting dust in my Steam library, simply because multiplayer games or brand new SP games keep taking my time.

If it came to Switch, I'd finally have some time to play it.

The Room is a great series of games always let down by its choice of hardware. The iOS/Android versions have the superior touchscreen controls, but tablets are far from ubiquitous, and the scenes are far too detailed to be played optimally on phone. The PC ports are good, but the mouse controls don't feel quite as nice as touchscreen. Switch is a great compromise.

All 4 of The Room games would be wonderful on Switch.

While SOMA is great, I still feel like the Penumbra series was their best series!

I wouldn't mind a SOMA or Amnesia release on the switch, handheld horror games are probably the least looked at genre for handhelds.
