Tales of Kenzera: ZAU initially intended to unveil its demo during the Steam Next Fest from February 5 to February 12. However, the release occurred sooner than anticipated, making the demo available at present. 

On the X platform, which was previously known as Twitter, Abubakar Salim, the founder of Surgent Studios, announced that the demo is now available on Steam. He also added that players are encouraged to share their feedback and thoughts about the experience. In his words,

We’re dropping it now.

Remember when I said we were dropping the Tales of Kenzera: ZAU demo on Monday?

Furthermore, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is still currently being shown through live streams as a component of Steam Next Fest, providing an opportunity for those interested to gain insights into the game. Notably, Salim, who is familiar with the gaming industry, has lent his voice to characters such as Bayek in Assassin’s Creed Origins, Eros in Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical, and Rokhan in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Additionally, Salim has also engaged with the Twitch platform, notably appearing on Critical Role.  

Critical Role, the well-known Dungeons & Dragons show, featured Abubakar Salim on their side show 4-Sided Dive to be the Host two weeks ago.

During the appearance, Salim showcased his adept voice-acting skills and promoted Tales of Kenzera: ZAU. The strategic move resonated with the audience, given the show’s association with voice actors in video games. This approach not only met audience expectations but also aligned with the anticipation for something novel, allowing them to collectively celebrate the new venture into Salim’s game.

Scheduled for release on April 23, 2024, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is poised to make its debut across multiple gaming platforms, including PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Crafted as a single-player narrative, the game bears the distinctive imprint of Abubakar Salim, who actively contributed to shaping the storyline.

Players can immerse themselves in an enthralling experience, harnessing cosmic powers derived from the Sun and the Moon. The central quest revolves around vanquishing restless spirits through a unique and engaging rhythmic combat system. This fusion of celestial forces and dynamic gameplay promises an intriguing and immersive journey for gaming enthusiasts.
