Surgent Studios Announces New EA Originals Game: Tales of Kenzera: Zau
In recent reports and leaks, it has been confirmed that Surgent Studios’ upcoming single-player action-adventure platformer, Tales of Kenzera: Zau, will be the next project represented by the EA Originals label.
The game aims to explore the theme of grief and the challenges of overcoming devastating loss, drawing inspiration from actor Abubakar Salim’s personal experience of losing his father.
Salim expressed his excitement about the project, stating, “For a long time, I’ve struggled to find a way to convey 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 quite true. For me, games are the most powerful medium for sharing stories. My late father introduced me to this medium, and what better way to honor him, our relationship, and our love than through this experience?”
The game is described as a 2.5D action-adventure platformer in the style of Metroidvania. It will feature a narrative directed by Karenga, the god of death, who illustrates the protagonist Zau’s journey through mysterious realms to harness cosmic forces.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau is set to be released on April 23, 2024, for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, with a retail price of $19.99. Pre-order bonuses include two Shaman Points that can be used in the game, as well as visuals and a companion comic designed to further explore the game’s lore.
The game is anticipated to offer a unique and emotional gaming experience, shedding light on the deeply personal theme of grief and loss.
