Tales of Kenzera: ZAU readies for release with launch trailer

As much as EA gets criticized for its big-budget blockbusters and sports games, the publisherโ€™s EA Originals line has quietly been putting out some pretty solid games like It Takes Two and Immortals of Aveum (at least, we thought that was a solid game). The newest game from EA Originals comes out this Tuesday, as Tales of Kenzera: ZAU arrives on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch.

To get us all ready for the gameโ€™s release, EA and Surgent Studios released a pair of videos worth highlighting. The first, of course, is Tales of Kenzera: ZAUโ€™s launch trailer, which shows off the gameโ€™s flashy, metroidvania-style gameplay:

The second โ€” and less traditional โ€” video features Surgent Studios founder Abubakar Salim explaining the genesis of the game, drawing on his familyโ€™s roots and using those as inspiration:

Will the game live up to expectations? Weโ€™ll find out in a few days, when Tales of Kenzera: ZAU hits storefronts on April 23rd.
