Tales of Kenzera: Zau Is Coming to the Playstation Plus Game Catalog on Day One
/
The upcoming side scroller platformer Tales of Kenzera: Zau will be the next title to be available on PlayStation Plus through the Game Catalog on day one when it launches on April 23.
Here’s a quick description of Tales of Kenzera: Zau via 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.
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.
Zau will discover and unlock new powerful abilities and skills during his quest to become a worthy Nganga and reclaim his lost Baba. These include mighty Spirit Attacks like the ferocious Lunar Beam blast that can be unleashed to obliterate enemies using the Moon Mask…
Players will discover a rich universe with untold lore of chaos & order and journey through mystical biomes inspired by the emotions and questions that humans face along the journey of grief, giving you key thinking points to reflect on as you and Zau travel across Kenzera. Like the gloomy swamp-filled Woodlands and the Deadlands, home to fatal lava pools, biomes all bursting with colour and depth.
This is looking to be a great platformer and is positioned nicely to ride the wave Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown started when it released at the start of the year with glowing reviews.
Tales of Kenzera: Zau will also be available this month on Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam and Epic Games Store.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
