Ember Lab’s free Anniversary Update is now live for Kena: Bridge of Spirits. It coincides with the game’s release on Steam after being exclusive to the Epic Games Store on PC. Check out the launch trailer below for all the different content included in the update.
There are new Spirit Guide Trials, which range from Obstacle Courses and Wave Defenses to Boss Reflects. Completing these bestows new outfits, some inspired by different Spirits that Kena meets on her journey. If you complete the bonus objectives for each Trial, you can unlock color variations for each outfit.
Charmstones are also new and provide different “adjustments” to Kena’s abilities and stats. In addition, there’s New Game+, allowing players to start a new playthrough with previously unlocked upgrades, Rot, etc. The combat encounters have been “completely redesigned” and are “more demanding” in New Game+, so it’s a good way to test one’s skill.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Steam costs $40 for the Standard Edition and $50 for the Deluxe Edition. However, a 25 percent launch discount is active for the next seven days. Those who own the Deluxe Edition can even net an additional outfit.
