pushsquare.com:

Sony has revealed that not only is Dave the Diver coming to PS Plus Extra on its release date of 16th April 2024, but so too is the upcoming Metroidvania title Tales of Kenzera: ZAU. Launching under the EA Originals banner, the promising indie platformer is coming out on 23rd April 2024 for PS5, and PS Plus Extra members gain access that very same day.

Community manager Joe Richardson sets the stage on the PlayStation Blog: «Players will take control of Zau, a young warrior-shaman from Amandla, who seeks out Kalunga, the God of Death, to bargain with him to bring his Baba back from the realm of the dead.» He then continues: «Wielding two powerful masks imbued with the cosmic power of the sun and the moon in a beautiful and chaotic dance, Zau travels across Kenzera, a rich mystical realm inspired by Bantu tales, fighting tough ancestral spirits and platforming obstacles to find the 3 mighty beings that have eluded the God of Death.»

Godzilla DLC still slated for May

In true Metroidvania fashion, you'll unlock new abilities as you progress through the game, which are tied to the sun and moon masks you can equip. Dubbed Sprit Attacks, these include lunar beam blasts and supernova fire spells. New traversal skills will then unlock optional areas and make platforming more manageable.

For PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium members, that's Dave the Diver on 16th April 2024 and then Tales of Kenzera: ZAU one week later. The full lineup of PS5, PS4, and Classic titles for April 2024 will be announced on 10th April 2024. Are you happy with what we've already got to look forward to?
