Fans of the original Kena have to wait longer for the sequel than expected. Ember Lab pushed the release of Kena: Scars of Kosmora into 2027. This delay gives the studio more time to polish the game. Players who wanted a 2026 launch will need to adjust their calendars. The extra time aims to improve the final quality of the experience.
Ember Lab pushes release window to 2027 for quality polish and expanded scope
The sequel is coming to PlayStation 5 and PC. You can buy the PS5 version in physical or digital formats. The PC release will be digital-only on Steam. This marks a change in how the game reaches players. The title is now published by PlayStation Publishing instead of the developer.
The story takes place on the elemental island of Kosmora. Alchemystic Temples serve as key locations in this setting. Kena gets a new crystalline canine mount for traversal. The game also introduces elemental Spirit Companions as new features. These additions expand the toolkit available to the player.
Ember Lab cites quality polish as the main reason for the delay. The studio also wants to expand the scale of the game. A closer look at the story and setting was shared to explain the change. The developers confirmed these details in a PlayStation Blog post. The focus remains on delivering a refined experience rather than rushing to market.
