Ember Lab has confirmed a release date for its story-driven action-adventure game Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Nintendo Switch 2.
You will untangle the past as Kena, a young Spirit Guide in search of the sacred Mountain Shrine, who must help free the spirits trapped in a forgotten village with the aid of the Rot, her adorable but powerful spirit companions.
“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,” enthuses Ember Lab chief operating officer Josh Grier.
“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.”
The Nintendo Switch 2 port will come complete with the Anniversary downloadable content, which adds Charmstones, Spirit Guide Trials, Kena Outfits and accessibility features. It also introduces New Game+ mode, which, post-completion, will let you restart Kena’s journey with all previously unlocked abilities, upgrades, outfits, Rot and more to face “redesigned and more challenging combat encounters.”
The developer has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Find and befriend the timid and illusive Rot spirits scattered throughout the forest and unlock their abilities to help you clear the corruption from the village.
- Explore a once-majestic world, filled to the brim with hidden nooks and crannies, as you uncover hidden secrets and rewards, including Rot Hats to customise your Rot companions.
- Uncover charmstones that provide advantages and disadvantages to customise your playstyle. Unlock new areas by uncovering and delivering Spirit Mail left behind by lost Spirits.
- Engage in fast-paced combat as you take on the Corrupt Spirits that challenge Kena at every turn. Hone your melee and ranged attack skills, command the powers of your Rot companions, and upgrade your abilities and powers. Engage in the Spirit Guide Trails to unlock rewards and improve your abilities as you work to become a skilled Spirit Guide.
- Begin your adventure anew with New Game+ with fresh encounters, greater challenges, and unique enemies.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 26 March 2026.
