Next month marks the one-year anniversary of the critically acclaimed Kena: Bridge of Spirits<\/em>, and developer Ember Lab plans to celebrate with a Steam release on September 27. Up until now, the title remained an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC, so those who prefer not to use that platform but still want the game can look forward to that date. Additionally, the Steam version will come alongside a special anniversary update that will add a whole host of new features to Kena<\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to the Steam page, one of the key new features in the anniversary update comes in the form of a new game plus mode, which contains additional challenges, combat encounters, and enemies for players to tackle, with their skills and upgrades carrying over. In addition, the update allows players to further hone their skills through The Trials, which include \u201cWave Defenses, Obstacle Courses, and the chance to take on key boss-fights again and again.\u201d By conquering these Trials, players can obtain all sorts of rewards, including new outfits for the titular protagonist.<\/p>\n
