The „tiny spirit companions” will be useful throughout the story.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits features a young girl who teams up with the Rot to defeat the corruption, which causes chaos within a small abandoned village Josh and Mike Grier, the co-founders of the devs, Ember Lab, revealed more details in an interview with GamesRadar to reveal more details about their abilities

Kena is a young spirit guide, looking for a sacred plage of knowledge. She discovers this village during her search, but the corruption has been spreading, and it doesn’t allow the spirits to move onto the next life, so they get stuck, and they cause chaos. Thus, Kena has to use the Rot to destroy the corruption and allow the spirits (which turned into dangerous, animal-like enemies) to move on. They will serve as the boss battles. „

„Kena can infuse any of her abilities with Rot to defeat enemies in unique ways. The Rot can swarm attackers, create piercing projectiles, and even form a shape-shifting cloud to pummel enemies. Finding and growing a larger Rot team enables more powerful attacks and unlocks additional upgrades. Working with the Rot, players will discover enemy weaknesses. Additionally, healing in combat is tied to using the Rot. Players will have to find a balance between delivering a strong blow or taking the opportunity to heal,” quoting GamesRadar.

100+ different Rot can be collected, and they can be customised cosmetically. The PlayStation 5 will allow the devs to „be able to show each of those little guys on the screen all at the same time.” Kena can also upgrade her skills and equipment. The DualSense‘s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers will add a layer to the combat, making us feel the weapons in Kena’s hands.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits will be launch on August 24 on PlayStation 4 (with a free upgrade), PlayStation 5 and PC. The base version will cost 40 bucks, while the Digital Deluxe Edition will be 50.
