PS5 Kena-like game delayed
The wait is about to get a little longer, but the payoff promises to be spectacular. Developer Ember Lab has officially announced a significant delay for their highly anticipated PlayStation 5 title, Kena: Scars of Kosmora. The sequel to the critically acclaimed 2021 adventure, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, is now slated for release in 2027.
This decision reflects the studio’s commitment to quality, signaling a desire to deliver an expanded and more polished experience than the first game. In a recent announcement, the developers explained that pushing the release date allows them the necessary time to refine the expanded game experience they aim to deliver, ensuring it truly exceeds the quality fans have come to expect from the franchise.
Kena: Scars of Kosmora will maintain the core gameplay structure of its predecessor as a linear adventure, but it promises a broader and deeper scope. Fans can expect an evolution of the journey, exploring new depths within the mysterious world of Kosmora.
The narrative deepens considerably in the sequel. Main character Kena is no longer just an adventurer; she is a seasoned spirit guide. Her quest takes her to the island of Kosmora on a critical mission: to find a cure for her affliction and to reconnect with a friend from her past.
This expanded narrative opens up fascinating new gameplay mechanics. Kena will harness the power of the elements in a new way, adapting her methods to navigate the powerful corruption that fractures her staff. Crucially, her journey involves discovering and nurturing memorable spirit companions, whose unique powers Kena will harness to solve puzzles and defeat enemies.
The game promises to blend the charm and wonder of the original with richer environmental storytelling and complex character development. Ember Lab has been working diligently to fill this expanded world with the same sense of wonder, charm, and challenge that defined the original experience.
While the exact timeline shifts to 2027, the foundation remains solid. Kena: Scars of Kosmora is confirmed for release on PlayStation 5 and PC, ensuring that this next chapter of Kena’s journey will be available to players across multiple platforms.
