Kena: Bridge of Spirits Launches on Switch 2 With Anniversary Update

The feature-complete port extends the indie hit to Nintendo players with built-in accessibility upgrades.

Overview

  • The Switch 2 edition, which launched Thursday, bundles the Anniversary Update with New Game+, Spirit Guide Trials, and extra difficulty and accessibility options.
  • Early reviews praise the art and animation yet note visual tradeoffs that include heavy motion blur, lower fidelity than PS5 and PC, and uneven performance.
  • Handheld play often sits around 40 to 45 frames per second with occasional stutters, though critics say the game still feels smooth and looks strong overall.
  • The core design mixes exploration, puzzles, and Souls-lite combat with helpful Rot companions, and reviewers warn that boss fights remain punishing even on lower settings.
  • Coverage cites a $39.99 price and flags missing gyro aiming for the bow, as Ember Lab readies the larger sequel Kena: Scars of Kosmora for PS5 and PC with no Switch plan confirmed.
