Tales of Kenzera: Zau battles grief amid visceral 2D action-platforming

An ode to the people we have loved and lost, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a 2D, sidescrolling action game with elemental combat, challenging platforming, puzzles and epic boss battles. It’s coming to us from Surgent Studios, and is an EA Original. More importantly, it’s been developed by Abubakar Salim, who is known for voicing Assassin’s Creed: Origins‘ Bayek. This is a passion project for him, because it’s dedicated to his late father, and is full of blood, sweat, grief and tears.

This is a story within a story, about a young man who makes a bargain with the God of Death to bring his late father back from the dead. Its main character will be voiced by its creator, and it looks really interesting overall. That, as well as very action-oriented.

Tales of Kenzera: Zau will be released on April 23, 2024, for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC.
