Kena is back in Kena: Scars of Kosmora, a sequel to Bridge of Spirits that sees her take on a more role as a Spirit Guide and even attempt to bring her unique blend of empathy and compassion to the living.
Ember Studios’ co-founders Josh and Mike Grier ahve announced the title at today’s State of Play, stating that the team is looking to create something “bigger and better this time around”, while highlighting its new-sound association with PlayStation Studios.
"Our partnership with PlayStation Studios has empowered us to expand our scope, while still staying true to what made the first game special”"
The reputation that Kena cultivated in the previous game seemingly has her in good standing with the residents of Kosmora, a new world which she explores in her capacity as a Spirit Guide. There are new threats for her to face, and new mysteries for her to investigate as she aims to assist Kosmora’s residents in both the physical and spirit realms.
The sequel does look like it’s building on what the first game built, with a combat system that sees her use her staff and bow to great effect with fast, fluid animations that bring style and substance to each battle. Komora shines through with visual splendor alongside excellent enemy and boss designs that have us quite eager to get our hands on the game.
