In a recent interview, Ember Lab has stated that it would look into launching Kena: Bridge of Spirits on more platforms. The new release is available exclusively on PlayStation platforms (PS4 and PS5) and the Epic Games Store on PC. Ember Lab is a relatively new game developer that first started as an animation studio, and Kena is its first major release. The studio currently has plans to continue ing the game and develop its next project, too.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits centers around Kena, the game's protagonist. As a spirit guide, she is tasked with helping the dead to travel from the physical world to the spirit world. Since its initial reveal, the game has been praised for its lush graphical beauty and for taking advantage of some next-gen PS5 features, such as DualSense and speedy load times. However, some critics have claimed that the game does nothing new in of design and that Kena is ultimately pretty but uninspired.

Since its September 21 release, Kena has garnered mostly positive reviews. Many cite the game's beautiful graphics and fun action-adventure gameplay as its strengths. As such, gamers without a PlayStation console or gaming PC who are anticipating the game are likely waiting for potential news on a wider platform release. While Grier's comments are not a definitive answer, saying that Ember Lab would look into community requests leaves the possibility open. The mention of timed exclusivity is another promising hint that Kena will find its way to more platforms sometime down the line.
On another note, Ember Lab is a relatively small developer, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits is its first release. It makes sense that the team behind the game is taking its time looking into the likelihood of additional consoles. This hasn't stopped Ember Lab from announcing new project plans, however. And with the current reception of the game, Kena: Bridge of Spirits has brought Ember Lab into the spotlight as an up-and-coming indie developer to keep an eye on.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits is available on PS4, PS5, and PC.
