Author: Marcus Stewart
Ember Lab has pushed the sequel Kena: Scars of Kosmora-from its originally announced 2026 window to a 2027 release-to allow extra time for polishing the larger-scale game. The title, set after Kena: Bridge of Spirits, follows an older Kena on the island of Kosmora, where she must master new alchemy-based elemental powers, ride a giant wolf companion, and explore a multi-region map to cure herself and save the land. It will launch on PlayStation 5 and PC in 2027.
