Kena: Bridge of Spirits, the critically acclaimed action-adventure title developed by Ember Lab, is officially headed to Nintendo Switch 2 in spring 2026.
This celebrated indie game, which originally debuted on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC in 2021—and is slated for Xbox release in 2024—continues to solidify its status as a contemporary indie classic, now expanding to Nintendo's next-generation console. The announcement of Kena: Bridge of Spirits for the Switch 2 comes closely on the heels of the reveal for its highly anticipated sequel, Kena: Scars of Cosmora.
Ember Lab confirmed that fans will be able to experience Kena's journey and her alliance with the adorable Rot creatures in a portable format, with all the robust features and improvements introduced post-launch on other platforms.
At launch, players on Switch 2 can expect the complete content package: the acclaimed New Game+ mode, expanded accessibility options, and a variety of new outfits for Kena.
These features reflect Ember Lab’s ongoing commitment to community feedback and inclusivity.
While a specific release date has yet to be detailed, Ember Lab has assured a spring 2026 release window, making it one of the standout upcoming Switch 2 ports. Kena: Bridge of Spirits achieved widespread recognition shortly after its original release, garnering awards for Best Independent Game and Best Debut Indie Game at The Game Awards in 2021.
This critical success was matched by a devoted fan base drawn to the game's lush visuals, emotive storytelling, and innovative combat system.
The move to Nintendo Switch 2 underscores Nintendo’s push to broaden its portfolio of visually ambitious and technically sophisticated titles, many of which were previously challenging for the original Switch hardware to support. Nintendo Switch 2, anticipated to deliver upgraded processing power and graphical capability, is rapidly becoming a go-to platform for enhanced ports of current-generation games.
With Kena: Bridge of Spirits joining this roster, Switch 2 owners can look forward to a portable experience that matches the quality seen on more powerful home consoles. As the eShop lineup for Nintendo Switch 2 continues to grow, the arrival of Kena: Bridge of Spirits stands out as a significant win for both Nintendo and Ember Lab.
Players eager for a fresh and emotional indie adventure will soon be able to take Kena and her magical world with them, anytime and anywhere, further strengthening the Switch 2’s position as a leading platform for both established franchises and innovative indie titles.
