The video featured previously unseen footage of Kena: Bridge of Spirit’s gameplay. It showed the adorable black creatures of Kena’s world known as The Rots.

The developers initially intended them to be working against the protagonist, but they eventually flipped the concept and The Rots work as companions in the game now. They form an integral gameplay element in solving puzzles during the adventures.

The voice acting and background score for Kena: Bridge of Spirits also seem to have been meticulously created. From what can be seen in the video, Kena: Bridge of Spirits is going to be a pleasure to the ear.

The official site of the game states about itself as:

“Kena: Bridge of Spirits is a story-driven action adventure set in a charming world rich with exploration and fast-paced combat. Players find and grow a team of tiny spirit companions called the Rot, enhancing their abilities and creating new ways to manipulate the environment.”

It continues:

“Travel to an abandoned village in search of the sacred mountain shrine and help Kena uncover the secrets of this forgotten community hidden in an overgrown forest where wandering spirits are trapped.”

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is scheduled for release on August 24, 2021 on PS4, PS5, and PC.
