Award-winning developer Ember Lab has officially announced the highly anticipated release of Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Nintendo Switch 2, set for Thursday, March 26.
Nintendo Switch 2 users can pre-order the adventure title today via the Nintendo eShop, gaining early access to a celebrated indie gem that originally launched to acclaim on PlayStation and PC platforms. Kena: Bridge of Spirits, initially released in September 2021, quickly garnered praise for its stunning visuals, emotionally rich storytelling, and innovative use of environmental puzzles and fast-paced combat.
Developed by Ember Lab, an independent studio with a background in animation and narrative-driven experiences, the game immerses players in the magical world of Kena, a young Spirit Guide on a quest to restore balance to a corrupted village. The Nintendo Switch 2 edition launches complete with the comprehensive Anniversary DLC update.
This content expansion, which debuted on earlier versions, adds valuable gameplay features such as Charmstones—items that can boost or alter a player’s abilities, and Spirit Guide Trials that provide new challenges to test combat and puzzle-solving skills.
Players can also unlock exclusive Kena Outfits and enhanced accessibility options, ensuring the game is inviting for all audiences.
Significantly, the Switch 2 version introduces New Game+ mode, allowing gamers to revisit the atmospheric adventure with new challenges and tougher adversaries, while retaining previously unlocked abilities and upgrades. According to Ember Lab’s official statement, Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Nintendo Switch 2 offers the 'full content experience,' making use of the platform’s upgraded hardware to deliver seamless gameplay both docked and handheld.
The developer highlighted their excitement to bring the title to a broader audience, reiterating their commitment to storytelling and polish that meets the expectations of Nintendo fans. Key features of Kena: Bridge of Spirits include the ability to befriend and utilize the Rot—small, magical forest spirits essential for overcoming obstacles and defeating enemies.
Players explore a richly crafted world, discovering hidden secrets, unlockable Rot Hats for customization, and uncovering the histories of lost spirits through unique side quests.
Combat is both kinetic and strategic, combining melee, ranged, and companion-based tactics.
Customization is deepened with charmstones and special upgrades, tailoring the experience to individual play styles. The arrival of Kena: Bridge of Spirits on Nintendo Switch 2 marks a significant milestone for both Ember Lab and Nintendo’s expanding library of acclaimed indie adventures.
With pre-orders now live on the Nintendo eShop, and the full suite of Anniversary DLC included at launch, players can look forward to experiencing one of modern gaming’s most enchanting journeys on March 26.
