Ember Lab Delays Kena: Scars of Kosmora to 2027

Ember Lab has moved Kena: Scars of Kosmora from its planned 2026 release window to 2027, saying the additional development time will help the team polish a larger experience. The studio has not announced a release date or month. The game is planned for PlayStation 5 and PC, with physical and digital editions on PS5, according to Ember Lab. The delay was announced alongside new details about the sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Ember Lab describes Scars of Kosmora as a character-focused, linear adventure that expands the earlier game’s world and systems. The studio said the project’s larger scale and its quality ambitions require more time, but did not provide a more precise schedule for the 2027 launch. The story follows Kena, now a more experienced Spirit Guide, as she travels to the island of Kosmora. The studio says she is seeking answers related to an affliction and her past, while the journey also brings her into contact with the island’s history and living communities. Kena’s childhood friend Orfio is connected to the journey, according to the details Ember Lab shared. Kosmora’s history is shaped by four interconnected cultures associated with different elements.
