Kena: Bridge of Spirits Arrives on Switch 2 March 26

Ember Lab's beloved action-adventure Kena: Bridge of Spirits is making its way to Nintendo's Switch 2 with an official launch date: March 26. The visually lush indie hit, which won Best Independent Game and Best Debut Indie Game at The Game Awards 2021, was previously slated for spring 2026 and now has firm timing for several regions.

Players step into the shoes of Kena, a young spirit guide who journeys to a sacred mountain shrine. The gameplay blends exploration, puzzle-solving and brisk combat with a Zelda-like rhythm — think light platforming, environmental puzzles and encounters that mix staff strikes, ranged arrows and throwable explosives. Its Pixar-esque art direction and emotive world-building helped the title stand out on PS5, PS4, PC (Steam and Epic) and Xbox platforms, and those same strengths are expected to carry over to Switch 2.

The new release is timed for March 26 across North America, Europe and parts of Asia, while Thailand gets an earlier drop on March 25. Ember Lab said regional details for Taiwan will be shared soon. If you’re eager, preorders are available now in North America and Europe, letting fans reserve a spot ahead of launch.

Porting a game with such polished visuals to a handheld-focused console is a notable technical task, and it’s worth watching how performance and fidelity balance on Switch 2. For players who enjoyed open-ended exploration in titles like Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, Kena could be a delightful follow-up — offering a shorter, more narrative-driven adventure with a strong audiovisual identity.

Below the preorder links, you can find the trailer that showcases the game's signature art style and combat. For anyone building a Switch 2 wishlist, Kena: Bridge of Spirits now joins a growing roster of ports and exclusives to consider this spring.
