EA Originals Unveils Tales Of Kenzera: ZAU, Coming April 2024

The Game Awards remains to be a platform for smaller teams to amplify its voice on new games coming to the industry. In collaboration with Electronic Arts, most if not all EA Originals titles have been revealed at The Game Awards. Even in 2021, It Takes Two took the award for Game of the Year in a surprise turn of events.

For 2022, EA Originals did waste no time to share its next major collaboration with Ascendant Studios on Immortals of Avenum. The game officially launched this year back in August 2023. And as part of a new collaboration with EA Originals yet again, The Game Awards unveiled Tales of Kenzera: ZAU.

You can watch the new announcement trailer in the video below:

“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,” Surgent Games founder Abubakar Salim writes. “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.” EA Partners general manager Jeff Gamon adds: “The EA Originals founding principle is to provide means and support to emerging game development talent, enabling creatives to bring their bold and visionary storytelling to a global gaming audience.

“Our enthusiasm for Abu’s touching vision that draws from his family history and a millennium of Bantu mythology drove our support and belief in Surgent Studios from their start several years ago. The EA Originals team takes great pride in supporting Abu in sharing a truly unforgettable and poignant experience with the world.”
