Running off the anticipation for Kena: Bridge of Spirits, it was even more enticing upon discovering the team behind the title. Ember Labs is previously responsible for the creation of fan-film ‘Majora’s Mask: Terrible Fate’, so the studio’s coming PlayStation 5 game is expected to hold that same vigor as well. But, it was upsetting when the developer issued a delay will push the game’s release into 2021 the following year.

With a broader release window now propped for Kena: Bridge of Spirits, it is overwhelming for fans that were initially anticipating the promised holiday release previously. But, there did happen to be some hope which sprouted in a PlayStation 5 promo revealing the game scheduled to arrive in March this year. However, Sony Interactive Entertainment went its way to hammer down any speculation by doctoring the video later on.

But following Thursday’s PlayStation State of Play, it is now clear when Kena: Bridge of Spirits is coming – this August. You can watch the new gameplay trailer in the video below:

Aside from the base version of Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Ember Labs also announces the Digital Deluxe Edition for the game. The contents of the higher tier includes the following: Kena: Bridge of Spirits, digital album, golden rot skin, and unique Kena staff. Additionally, Ember Labs reiterates on support for cross-buy between PlayStation 4 & PlayStation 5 stating either edition will provide entry to the other platform.

Elsewhere in the livestreamed presentation this week, Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade. While not the second issue of three for the remade experience, Intergrade is an extension of the story with Yuffie Kisaragi featured as a playable character.
