The award-winning independent game studio Ember Lab said its story-driven action adventure game Kena: Bridge of Spirits is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 this spring.
The new Nintendo version will come feature-complete with the latest updates to the game, including the Anniversary DLC and New Game+ mode.
“We’re incredibly excited to bring Kena’s journey to a whole new audience, giving players the chance to experience her story at home or on the go with Nintendo Switch 2,” said Josh Grier, COO at Ember Lab, in a statement. “As our studio’s debut title, the overwhelming support and love the game has received over the years has truly meant a great deal to our team. We’re beyond thrilled that even more players will now be able to fully immerse themselves in Kena’s world and become part of her journey.”
Kena: Bridge of Spirits first launched on PlayStation platforms in September 2021 and went on to win several awards including Best Independent Game and Best Debut Indie Game at The Game Awards 2021.
One of the most beloved indie games in recent years, the game welcomes players into a charming world filled with mystery, combining exploration, puzzle-solving, fast-paced combat, and compelling narrative. Players take on the role of Kena, a young spirit guide, on her journey of self-discovery as she restores balance to an ancient village in a once-thriving environment.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version comes complete with the Anniversary DLC, which features Charmstones, Spirit Guide Trials, Kena Outfits, and accessibility features. It also features New Game+ mode, which allows players who’ve completed the game to restart Kena’s journey with all of their previously unlocked abilities, including upgrades, outfits, Rot, and more, as well as redesigned and more challenging combat encounters.
