"Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a third-person action-adventure game that follows the eponymous Kena, a young spirit guide who helps wayward souls on their journey through to the afterlife. It has PS2 energy in the best possible way, and a deceptively deep combat system that will eventually catch you out if you don't pay attention to enemy patterns."
"While nothing about the game is particularly groundbreaking, Kena is a visual feast, which is unsurprising when you learn about Ember Lab's roots in film animation. I'm quite looking forward to seeing how it looks running on the Switch 2's big, bright handheld display."
"The Switch 2 version comes with the Anniversary DLC, which features Charmstones, Spirit Guide Trials, new outfits, and various accessibility features. You also get a New Game+ mode with even trickier encounters."
Kena: Bridge of Spirits, an underrated 2021 indie game from Ember Lab, is being ported to Nintendo Switch 2 this spring ahead of its sequel's 2026 release. The third-person action-adventure follows Kena, a spirit guide helping souls reach the afterlife, featuring Pixar-like visuals, Zelda-inspired gameplay combining combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving, and a deep combat system requiring attention to enemy patterns. The Switch 2 version includes Anniversary DLC with new Charmstones, Spirit Guide Trials, outfits, accessibility features, and New Game+ mode. Ember Lab's animation background creates a visually impressive experience well-suited for the Switch 2's handheld display.
