Stylish metroidvania ‘Tales of Kenzera: Zau’ coming day-one to PS Plus

Back during the 2023 Game Awards, Tales of Kenzera: Zau was announced: A “story-driven action-exploration game inspired by Bantu tales”. Despite being the studio’s debut title, it has garnered a great deal of attention – so much so that it is being added to PlayStation Plus on the day of release.

Making the announcement on the PlayStation Blog, publisher EA said: “Eventually, we all will contend with grief. It can come in many forms and from many different sources. Surgent Studios’ (founded by Abubakar Salim) debut game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau, is a 2.5D story-driven, action-exploration game all about facing those emotions and discovering how love gives us the courage to press on after a devastating loss, and it’s coming to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog at launch on April 23rd, 2024!”

Being added specifically to PS Plus Extra and Premium, the title will be available to play for as long as it remains on the service.

As mentioned, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is a metroidvania not too dissimilar to the likes of the recently released Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

Featuring exciting combat and movement abilities alongside a seemingly heartfelt story, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is one to keep an eye on.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
