Tales of Kenzera: ZAU

Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is back with a new update in the form of version 1.4.

One of the big additions this time around is that the Hook ability can be used in combat. On top of that, 18 more fast travel points have been added. Other improvements are also included. Additionally, we’ll mention that this patch also includes the previously-announced version 1.3 for Switch players – meaning you’re technically getting two updates in one.

Here’s the full rundown of today’s update:

Note that in addition to these new difficulty levels, the game is getting other additions, improvements, and fixes such as the option to skip chase sequences after a designated number of attempts.

The full rundown of the update is as follows:

System: Switch
Release date: April 23, 2024
Developer: Surgent Studios

As the latest title to be published under the EA Originals label, Tales of Kenzera: ZAU joins an interesting, eclectic collection of games of varying genres and quality. As the debut title of Surgent Studios it stands out as being particularly ambitious, jockeying for position in a genre already oversaturated with memorable and high quality titles, and it takes clear inspiration from some of the best out there and delivers its own unique spin on them. Unfortunately, these are the things that stop it from becoming all that it could be, and ultimately make it a game that is tough to recommend as a result.
