Scars of Kosmora launches 2027 Ember Lab story
The wait is almost over for an adventure that promises to redefine the scope of Kena’s journey. Building on the foundation set by the acclaimed 2021 debut, Kena: Scars of Kosmora is set to be a grander, deeper experience, promising to deliver a world and narrative that pushes the boundaries of what players expect from an exploration title.
After sparking immense anticipation with its announcement trailer in February, the development team has been working diligently behind the scenes to ensure this next installment delivers top-notch quality. To achieve the expanded, polished experience fans are craving, the team has opted for a carefully planned release in 2027.
Unlike the initial game, which focused tightly on Kena’s personal story, this expanded adventure delves into a much broader and more complex world. Players will venture far off the beaten path, exploring the mysteries of the mysterious island of Kosmora and the history of its diverse inhabitants.
Scars – Shadows of the past
Kena has long walked the path as a Spirit Guide, a figure who mastered the art of both warrior and spiritual healer. In a world where the dead refuse to find peace, dangerous manifestations of pain infect the environment. Kena’s mission is to fight against this spiritual corruption and uncover the true nature of Spirit Guiding for the living.
Driven by a desire to understand her own past and future, Kena sets out to seek answers from her childhood friend, Orfio, who believes the secrets of Kosmora hold the key to their shared destiny. This quest pulls Kena deeper into the ancient lore of the island.
The geography of Kosmora is steeped in ancient history. The island was once home to ancient Spirit Guides who utilized the four elements and Alchemystic Temples to govern their unique cultures. A mysterious cataclysm shattered this civilization, allowing the spiritual symbolism of the elements to fade, leaving behind complex ruins and lingering dangers.
Kosmora – Living cultures
Kosmora is not just a backdrop for Kena’s quest; it is a tapestry of living cultures. The island is home to multiple distinct societies, each with its own unique histories, values, and struggles. Kena must navigate these regions, learning to adapt her experience and personalities to uncover how Kosmora’s fractured past intersects with the people who call the island home.
To traverse this vast world, Kena discovers a new method of exploration. Her crystalline canine companion is seamlessly integrated into the gameplay, serving as more than just an accessory. This ancient spirit acts as a vital ally, assisting Kena in combat, navigating terrain, and solving complex Alchemystic puzzles.
Together, the Spirit Guide and her new companion embark on a mission to heal Kena’s personal wounds and confront the deep scars that run through the very essence of Kosmora. Fans can look forward to an adventure filled with wonder, charm, and profound challenge as the world of Kena continues to evolve.
Kena: Scars of Kosmora is scheduled for release in 2027 on PS5 (physical and digital) and PC (digital). Mark your calendars and add it to your wishlist today.
