It is precisely the Extra offer that interests us with a game accessible today.
The PS Plus Extra game of the day that delights
The PS Plus Extra game which will be available at 6:00 p.m. is Tales of Kenzera: ZAU. A Metroidvania-style game developed by Surgent Studios and published by Electronic Arts under their EA Originals label. The game launched on April 23, 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. And we were able to give you a test of it on Gameblog very recently.
The story follows a young shaman named Zau. Who must capture the spirits of three monsters to offer them to Kalunga, the God of Death, in exchange for the resurrection of his father. The game takes place in a rich universe inspired by Bantu tales, combining elements of African mythology with a narrative centered on the themes of loss and mourning. Zau is equipped with two masks. The Mask of the Sun and the Mask of the Moon, which allow him to deal melee and ranged damage respectively, with separate upgrade paths for each mask.
The game’s creator, Abubakar Salim, founded Surgent Studios after losing his own father. An experience that deeply affected him and inspired him to create this game. The development of Tales of Kenzera: ZAU was a journey to explore the power of love in the face of grief. While honoring the memory of his father through a medium that both loved: video games.
In terms of gameplay, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is a 2.5D game that allows players to gradually unlock new skills. And discover new paths to advance in the game. Using an in-game currency called Ulogi to purchase new skills.
