The sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits follows an older Kena, a Spirit Guide and healer of souls, to the island of Cosmorah, where her childhood friend Olfio says the answers she has been searching for are waiting.","whyItMatters":"The delay is a stated polish call rather than a rework, so the story and setting details released alongside it are the news: Ember Lab is framing a bigger, more explorable sequel around an older, more powerful Kena.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eKena: The Mark of Cosmorah moves to 2027, and the announcement came with the first substantive word on what the sequel is about. Kena returns as a Spirit Guide and healer of souls who travels to help others while avoiding her own suffering. Word of the island of Cosmorah reaches her through Olfio, a childhood friend, who says the island holds the answers she has been looking for. Ancient Spirit Guides are said to have built a culture there, and multiple cultures still live on the island, which Kena crosses on a spirit companion that also helps in combat and puzzles.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Ember Lab slips to 2027 with no release window.

The stated priority is polish, not a date.","threadsPost":"Ember Lab gave Kena: The Mark of Cosmorah a vague 2027 window. The sequel follows an older Kena to Cosmorah as a Spirit Guide, but the studio's stated reason for the delay is polish, not a locked date. That keeps the marketing on the premise, not the release.","newsletterBlurb":"Ember Lab pushed Kena: The Mark of Cosmorah to 2027, citing a wish to further polish the game experience.
