Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is an intimate, myth-driven adventure that promises a moving blend of ritual, exploration and combat wrapped in the folklore of Bantu cultures.

The world of Kenzera is described as once-vibrant but now haunted by lost ancestral spirits, which sets up an atmosphere both beautiful and treacherous. As Zau you advance through unknown mythological lands, wielding "the dance of the shaman" and tapping into cosmic powers. Along the way three mighty, familiar-seeming beings stand between you and your goal-suggesting tense encounters and striking set-piece battles where ritual and courage matter as much as skill.

What stands out from the description is the cultural grounding and personal focus: this isn’t just a generic fantasy quest but an adventure explicitly inspired by Bantu myths and told through the lens of a son trying to save his father’s spirit. The involvement of Surgent Studios (founded by actor Abubakar Salim) and EA Originals hints at a narrative-first, cinematic approach, likely with strong voice work and production values.

If you’re drawn to atmospheric, story-driven games that lean on myth, ritual and character stakes-especially ones that explore non-Western folklore-Tales of Kenzera: ZAU looks like a title to watch. Its themes of grief, ancestral ties and shamanic practice promise a distinctive emotional journey; whether that promise is fully realized will depend on how well its mechanics and pacing support the rich setting and personal story.
