Kena rights: PlayStation page still credits Ember Lab

Kena rights remain credited to Ember Lab on PlayStation’s official page. Here is what Sony’s publishing role establishes about the sequel.

  • Publishing Sony Interactive Entertainment is the listed publisher.
  • Copyright notice The official page names Ember Lab, LLC.
  • Trademark notice The page also attributes the related marks to Ember Lab, LLC.

The small print deserves a closer look: Kena rights are still attributed to Ember Lab on PlayStation’s official page for Kena: Scars of Kosmora. Sony Interactive Entertainment appears as publisher, but that listing alone does not establish that Sony has bought the series or its developer. Those are different claims, and the distinction matters.

Kena rights: what the official page establishes

Here is the limitation: a website notice records what that page says; it cannot settle every question about a company’s ownership. Our reading of the material is narrower. It supports identifying Sony as publisher and reporting Ember Lab’s existing rights credit. Turning that into a completed studio acquisition would go beyond the evidence reviewed.

Ember Lab and PlayStation Studios: the documented partnership

The developer’s account

In the announcement post, Ember Lab described working with PlayStation Studios as a partnership that helped it build a larger world.

The publisher listing

PlayStation’s game page lists Sony Interactive Entertainment as publisher. That establishes the publishing credit shown there.

The collaboration is concrete. In the announcement, Ember Lab explained that PlayStation Studios’ involvement supported a larger world built around carefully designed regions and deliberate progression. That gives players a useful picture of the relationship behind the sequel. It does not, by itself, describe a purchase of the development company.

What players can take from the latest update

  1. 12 February 2026 The partnership is described Ember Lab discusses PlayStation Studios’ support in the sequel’s announcement.
  2. 1 October 2026 The release window changes Ember Lab announces a 2027 release on PS5 and PC.

For players in Egypt and the Arab world following the sequel, the practical update is its announced PS5 and PC release in 2027. The next ownership development worth reporting would be an explicit announcement addressing the rights or the studio. Until then, the publishing credit and the developer’s own description provide the clearest account of the relationship.
