Tales of Kenzera: Zau will be available as part of the PS Plus Game Catalog from launch day, which is April 23rd. PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers will be able to get their hands of the 2.5D action game without having to wait. The game was first announced during The Game Awards on December 8th, 2023.
At the time of its reveal, Abubakar Salim, founder of Surgent Studios, said, “For a long time, I’ve struggled to find a way of communicating my journey with grief. To now be able to do that through Zau’s story of loss, growth and healing in Tales of Kenzera: ZAU feels so right. Games, to me, are the most powerful medium to share stories. My late father introduced me to the medium, and what better way of honoring him, our relationship and love than through this experience? I am extremely grateful and proud of the team of creatives that have helped craft Surgent Studios, and I’m beyond thrilled to have EA Originals give me the platform and space to share this story together with them.”
Tales of Kenzera: Zau is inspired by Bantu folklore, featuring mystical creatures, memories of shamans, and spirits. Zau is equipped with two masks to navigate the world he inhabits, and those are the Sun and Moon masks. The Moon mask allows players to manipulate time and crystalise enemies, while the Sun Mask is more weapons based by using blazing spears. Tales of Kenzera: Zau has been confirmed for Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC, alongside PS5 and PS4.
