This gives me Kubo vibes (albeit without the stop motion)

Anyone else keep thinking of the movie "Bridge of Spies" when they see the title for this?

Looks nice, but in a "I must have this now!" way. I'll probably pick it up at some point if it reviews well.

Really looking forward to this but, depending on launch price, it might be one I wait on.

Def Kubo vibes from the protag. Everything else feels Ghibli inspired.

New trailer impressed me more than the first.

This looks great. Proper third person action adventure.

Reminds me of Legacy of Kaine Soul Reaver a little bit.

Also another reason to keep my ps4.

The developers at Ember Labs speak on their background in Hollywood animation, and the influence of playing action adventure games growing up, and how that's impacted the direction of Kena: Bridge Of Spirits. In this featurette during the Tribeca Game Spotlight, they elaborate on the game's score, and cinematic quality.

It looks like the game Dinosaur Planet would have been without it being turned into a Starfox game, with a touch of Beyond Good and Evil.

Damn! was looking forward to this

Shame. I was also looking forward to this.

Good news then, you get even more time to look forward to it!

They really left it to the last minute to delay it. Still very excited to play!

As with Deathloop, the release of this really seems to have crept up and it's now less than a week away.

Anyone know if there have been any early previews?

Is this a digital-only release? Can't see anyone taking pre-orders online.

Yes, digital only

Seems like a very legit review

Keeping an eye out for scores on this one as if it's good it may keep the girlfriend happy. The lateness of any reviews is rarely a good sign.
