Kena: Scars of Kosmora obtained introduced and appears greater, grander, and simply as beautiful as the first recreation.
When Kena: Bridge of Spirits got here out in 2021, it was rightly celebrated as the form of action-platformer that we’d been lacking. Although the recreation offered nicely upon launch and obtained some (much-deserved) essential reward, it didn’t really feel like the begin of a franchise. Nevertheless, I’m happy to be wrong as its sequel, Kena: Scars of Kosmora, was introduced at the Sony State of Play final night time with a launch date of later this yr.
The announcement trailer for Kena: Scars of Kosmora reveals off a lot of what I already beloved about the first recreation – the beautiful artwork and the distinctive setting – and feels prefer it offers it a grander scale. Half of what held Kena: Bridge of Spirits again was the reliance on the hub atmosphere and repetitive fight. Whereas we didn’t get a nice have a look at the fight of Scars of Kosmora, there’s a sense that there’s a greater world to discover on this new title.
For me, this new trailer deepens the hyperlink between Kena and one of my favourite recreation collection ever, Jak & Daxter; each video games had excellent but considerably easy first entries and had been adopted by video games that took the established components and created a really outstanding sequel. I don’t anticipate Kena: Scars of Kosmora to have practically as darkish a tone as Jak II, but already it appears like a greater world, with extra to do and a extra mature story to inform.
Will Kena: Scars of Kosmora be a worthy sequel to one of the PS5’s higher motion platformers? We gained’t have to wait lengthy it’s due out someday in 2026.
