Update:
It's now been confirmed that Syndrome will launch on 11th March.
Original Article:
If you like first-person horror games then the Switch sure has a lot of them; some are even pretty darn good. Another has been announced that'll hope to make its mark on the eShop - Syndrome, developed by Camel 101 and being brought to Switch by RedDeerGames, will be making its console debut on Switch later this year.
It's a game that came out on Steam way back in 2016, albeit to mixed user reviews. Based on footage and indeed reviews of the PC version it certainly brings to mind something like Alien: Isolation, though of course this is an effort from a much smaller development team. You wake up from cryosleep on a space station and have to sneak around hiding from various things trying to kill you - a classic setup, no doubt.
The publisher is emphasizing the survival aspects of the game - ammo is limited, you'll often be better served staying in the shadows, and you'll be trying to unravel the mystery of what's happened on the station.
We'll keep our eyes peeled for further details in the coming months.

I'm always opened to some good Alien Isolation vibes !
@Dethmunk and dead space will never come to Switch
@anoyonmus well, there was a time when I said the same about it on Wii. We got a great Wii 'exclusive' (initially) game that was build around the system's strength and surpassed its visual expectations. There's quite a few Switch games no one would have expected, yet here they are. If we get it, we get it when we get it, and will see about its quality then. If we don't, we don't.
Yeah if this could deliver the thrill like Isolation did then I'm all in.
@Shambo I mean, it’s EA. EA won’t listen to Switch owners
@anoyonmus EA doesn't listen to anyone. So not too surprising.
@VeraTepes yeah
This Definitely has my attention!
now why isn't ZOMBI ported to switch. it WAS a nintendo exclusive but now it isn't?
I hope for the evergreen "System Shock" Shodan on Switch, would be cool
Looks derivative of some games I wish were on Switch. Not very original looking but I'll keep an open mind and wait for the reviews.
Looks like Hollow.
Now that was not worth the 99p I paid for it.
And they are making a sequel for some reason.
At the moment, Doom 64, Doom 3 and Doom 2016 (someone is actually worse at numbering than Xbox and Battlefield) together are possibly cheaper than this will be. Not saying this will be bad, how could I know? But it might be interesting for those interested in this who have skipped Doom for some reason (like its price point).
RedDeerGames are NFT peddlers so I won't be going anywhere near this.
