They’re already working on its next project, too
Ember Lab launchedKena: Bridge of Spiritsjust last month, and it sounds like the game’s already been a success for the studio. The studio’s founders confirmed in a new interview thatKenahas already made its development costs back on its debut game.
Speaking toBloomberg, Ember Lab founders Mike and Josh Grier confirmed thatKena: Bridge of Spiritshas recuperated its initial costs. They didn’t close what those numbers are, though they did confirm that Sony is “happy” with the figures.
Though Ember Lab started out as a studio making animated commercials and branded game applications, the founders confirmed they’re “not going back to commercials.” According to their chat with Bloomberg, Ember Lab will become a full-time developer, and is already working on its next project. They’re not formally announcing anything yet, though they do tell Bloomberg it will be a “narrative-driven” game, similar toKena.
Kena: Bridge of Spiritslaunched on PC and PlayStation consoles last month, andgarnered some good praisefor the studio’s first outing. Our own Jordan Devore wished for a sequel in his thoughts on the game, and while that wish hasn’t come true just yet, it’s heartening to see a studio have such a strong launch out of the gate.
