Kena: Scars of Kosmora moves to 2027 as Ember Lab details Kosmora

Ember Lab has pushed Kena: Scars of Kosmora to 2027. The update landed on Thursday, October 1, 2026, in a post by game writer Thomas Varga and COO Josh Grier on the PlayStation Blog. PlayStation reshared the note on its official X accounts.

The game was revealed on February 12, 2026, during State of Play, with a release planned for this year on PS5 and PC. In today's post, the studio says it needs more time to polish an experience larger than its 2021 debut, Kena: Bridge of Spirits.

What Ember Lab shared

Scars of Kosmora remains a character-focused linear adventure, but with a broader scope than the first game. Kena, a Spirit Guide who is part warrior and part spiritual healer, sets out to meet childhood friend Orfio. He believes the island of Kosmora holds answers about her past and about what Spirit Guiding means for the living, not only the dead.

The island's ancient Spirit Guides worked with the four elements and Alchemystic Temples. Four interconnected cultures once thrived on Kosmora, each tied to an element, until a mysterious cataclysm destroyed one of them. Those temples appear as dungeons that test the player and return rewards that change the course of the adventure.

The new way to get around is a crystalline canine companion. The studio describes the ancient spirit as a mount, a combat aid — mounted or on foot — and a piece of the Alchemystic puzzles. Her origin is tied to the island itself.

What changes in practice

The launch is now set for 2027, with no day or month. PS5 will have physical and digital editions; PC will be digital only. The official page already accepts wishlists. The post does not mention price, a tighter window, or whether the delay changes the PlayStation Studios partnership cited in February as what allowed a larger world.

For anyone who followed the February announcement, the concrete change is the calendar: what was “still in 2026” is now 2027, with a slice of lore the studio had not detailed in the initial trailer.
