Kena: Scars Of Kosmora Guides Players To A New Adventure This Year
Today's PlayStation State of Play kicked off the reveal of a sequel to 2021's Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Titled Kena: Scars of Kosmora, the adventure sees an older Kena travel to a new land, and it's coming this year.
In Scars of Kosmora Kena, now older and more famous, travels to a mysterious new island in search of a cure for an affliction and to reconnect with a long-lost friend. Unfortunately, a powerful corruption fractures her staff, so she must master a new and forgotten form of Spirit Guiding that allows her to command the elements.
Most interestingly, the trailer does not show any of her little friends, the Rot, that accompanied her in the first game. Instead, she joined by new animal companions such as a small, magical fox, and we even see her riding a deer-like fox in an open world. Developer Ember Lab promises deeper, more dynamic combat as the action still sees Kena using her staff to unleash combo attacks and parry incoming offense. She also uses it to conjure giant green crystals to drop on foes or transform the staff into a heavier, claymore-like weapon.
Kena: Scars of Kosmora is coming later this year for PlayStation 5 and PC.
