Since its February announcement, Kena: Scars of Kosmora has generated significant anticipation. However, Kena's fans will now have to wait a little longer than expected for the sequel to Bridge of Spirits, as it has been delayed to 2027. The developers have shared new details about Kena's next journey in Kosmora.
Bridge of Spirits was a critically acclaimed indie title by both fans and critics alike. And that's why Ember Lab has decided to delay the game to polish it further. The original game garnered attention for its charming characters and taxing combat; Scars of Kosmora now looks set to expand nearly every aspect of that experience to another level.
According to a PlayStation Blog from Ember Lab, the developers state that they've been moved by the anticipation since Scars of Kosmora's reveal in February. To respect fans' expectations and their own ambitions, the team has decided to push back the release date to excel in every aspect of the prequel while offering a broader adventure on a considerably larger scale.
This will allow them to pursue the vision they have for Kena's next chapter. Honestly, it's a familiar kind of announcement that you would expect from a video game that gets delayed, but to keep the fans interested, Ember Lab has revealed a substantial look at the game's world. The game will retain its character-focused, linear storyline similar to the original game, but the stakes are going to be abnormally higher.
Now, Kena: Scars of Kosmora is scheduled to release for PC and PS5 in 2027, along with physical and digital editions confirmed for the PS5—that won't be the case in 2028, though.
The story of Scars of Kosmora furthers Kena's adventure as a Spirit Guide. In the original game, she helped spirits overcome their corruption and pain, allowing them to move on. While she has spent her life helping the dead find peace, she never forgot to confront her own grief. And this struggle gives the sequel a one-of-a-kind emotional foundation that many humans are familiar with—being selfless for the sake of others.
Her journey to Kosmora is to serve as an opportunity to better understand herself while helping another group of spirits. It's time for her to balance things out and take care of herself in the process, learning what it truly means to be a Spirit Guide, which is an interesting direction for a sequel.
Kosmora has a complicated history tied to Spirit Guiding, revolving around the four elements of four different cultures that lived on the island, along with Alchemystic Temples. All of them played a major role in society's development, and Kena will be encountering its surviving cultures, uncovering traditions that once shaped Kosmora. And Kena won't be alone on this journey.
