Developer Ember Lab has officially delayed Kena: Scars of Kosmora, pushing the upcoming action-adventure sequel out of its original late-2026 release window and into 2027. The studio confirmed the timeline shift in a new announcement, marking the first major delay for the highly anticipated follow-up to 2021’s Kena: Bridge of Spirits.
The original title established a distinct reputation for its blend of Pixar-like animation, fluid combat, and dark, melancholic fantasy themes revolving around guiding lost spirits to the afterlife. The sequel aims to continue this narrative-rich journey, though details regarding the plot and new gameplay mechanics remain sparse.
Ember Lab has stated the delay is to allow more time for polish and to deliver a game that exceeds the quality of its predecessor at a larger scale. Ember Lab has confirmed that Kena: Scars of Kosmora will be released on PlayStation 5 and PC; pricing details for the upcoming release have not yet been announced.
The details
- Game: Kena: Scars of Kosmora
- Developer: Ember Lab
- Original release window: Late 2026
- New release window: 2027
- Platforms & pricing: PlayStation 5, PC; pricing not yet announced
With the release window now set for 2027, the studio has more room to refine the next chapter of its spiritual fantasy universe.
