Ember Lab’s critically acclaimed action-adventure game, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, is officially making its debut on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Announced for March 26, 2026, this highly requested port brings the award-winning title to Nintendo's next-generation hybrid console, answering the call from fans who have long hoped to see Kena grace the platform.
Originally released in 2021 for PlayStation and PC, Kena: Bridge of Spirits charmed players with its heartwarming story, inventive combat, and stunning visual style.
At launch, the technical limitations of the original Nintendo Switch made a release on the system unfeasible.
However, with the enhanced capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2, the game is now primed for optimal performance, ensuring that Nintendo fans can fully experience Kena's enchanting world. In Kena: Bridge of Spirits, players assume the role of a young Spirit Guide named Kena, embarking on a quest to locate the sacred Mountain Shrine.
Along her journey, Kena aids restless spirits in a long-neglected village, assisted by the Rot, lovable spirit companions who offer both charm and gameplay utility.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version will launch as the definitive edition, including all content from the previously released Anniversary DLC.
This bundle delivers additional features, such as Charmstones, Spirit Guide Trials, unique Kena outfits, and enhanced accessibility options. Additionally, players can look forward to the New Game+ mode, a popular addition that enables users to restart Kena's journey with previously unlocked abilities, outfits, upgrades, and Rot companions.
This mode also introduces rebalanced encounters, offering a refreshed and more challenging gameplay experience for returning fans. A spokesperson for Ember Lab emphasized their excitement about bringing Kena: Bridge of Spirits to a new audience, stating that the increased performance of Nintendo Switch 2 has allowed the team to faithfully recreate the magical world and refined action fans expect.
Pre-orders for the title are available now via the Nintendo eShop, giving eager players a chance to secure their copy ahead of the March launch. Kena: Bridge of Spirits has achieved considerable acclaim since its original release, earning accolades for its animation, design, and emotive storytelling.
Its arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2 further broadens the title’s reach, highlighting both the platform’s technical advancements and Ember Lab’s commitment to delivering high-quality, accessible experiences across consoles.
