Kena: Bridge of Spirits was first announced as one of the first titles for PlayStation 5. It was released on PS5, PS4, and via a timed exclusivity on the Epic Games Store on September 21, 2021. It follows the story of the titular Kena, a young Spirit Guide searching for the sacred Mountain Shrine. On her journey, she helps free the spirits trapped in a forgotten village alongside the Rot, a group of powerful and adorable spirit companions.
Kena finds herself more of these Rot creatures throughout the game, and in turn, they unlock more powerful Rot abilities. They can ultimately be used to clear the corruption spreading around the cursed village and in exploration to uncover various secrets hidden within the world. Kena primarily uses her special staff, with this weapon able to change into a bow at a whim and discharge powerful spiritual energies against her opponents.
