In the middle of today's State of Play stream, Ember Lab showed off a new trailer for its action-platformer Kena: Bridge of Spirits. One of the highlights of last year's PS5 gameplay reveal the company confirmed that Kena will be hitting both current and last-generation platforms on August 24, 2021.
While the trailer didn't contain much that wasn't already known, it still looks absolutely wonderful. I'm not sure if the power of the PS5 is being put to full use here, but I'm down with the Asian themes and cartoony visuals. It almost looks like a Pixar film in playable form, especially with how the characters' eyes are rendered.
In a press release after the stream, Ember Lab COO Josh Grier stated, "We're overwhelmed by and grateful for the enthusiasm surrounding Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and we can't wait to share our game with everyone this August. We're taking the next few months to further polish and optimize for the best possible game. It's been quite an experience completing our first title during the pandemic. We are super excited to reveal the latest trailer and announce the launch date."
If you fancy pre-ordering the game, you'll be treated to some extra hats for Kena's wonderful little friends. The game will be available in both Standard and Deluxe digital formats, with each going for $40 and $50 respectively. PC players will have to deal with the Epic Games Store if they want to play, though it will likely head to Steam in 2022.
