Indie developer Ember Lab has today announced that Kena: Bridge of Spirits is officially coming to Xbox this August! Yep, after spending almost two years as a PlayStation and PC exclusive, the team's Pikmin-like action adventure title hits Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in just a few months' time.

The actual launch date for Kena on Xbox is August 15th, and we've had an inkling that this announcement would show up soon - ever since the game was ESRB-rated back in April. Anyway, now we know for sure, and we're quite excited to play this one on Xbox!

Here's a brief description of what to expect from Kena: Bridge of Spirits:

"A story-driven, action adventure combining exploration with fast-paced combat. Untangle the past as Kena, a young Spirit Guide in search of the sacred Mountain Shrine. Help free the spirits trapped in a forgotten village with the help of the Rot, her adorable (yet powerful) spirit companions."

What's more - we're getting a physical Xbox release as well! Yep, the team has announced that publisher Maximum Entertainment will be handling the Premium Edition of Kena on Xbox, complete with the following extras:

  • Official Digital Soundtrack

  • Retail Exclusive Sticker Sheet

  • Unique Kena Staff

  • Golden Rot Skin

  • Xbox Exclusive pirate-themed Rot hats

Both the digital and physical Premium Edition releases will cost $39.99 / €39.99 / £34.99, and pre-orders for Kena: Bridge of Spirits will go live "soon" - ahead of the game's August 15th release date on Xbox platforms.
