Abubakar Salim addresses "fever pitch" of racism received after launch of Tales of Kenzera: Zau

Abubakar Salim, creator of the recent Tales of Kenzera: Zau, has addressed the “fever pitch” of “constant targeted harassment” the studio has received since the release of the game.

The game is inspired by Salim’s own story of grief and set in an Afrofuturist world based on Bantu Tales and African folklore.

However, in a video posted to X, Salim responded to the abuse received and announced a price drop for the game on Switch.

“We are being faced with constant targeted harassment from people who see diversity as a threat, from people who look across the vast landscape of modern media and decide that anything that doesn’t speak to them or centres around them is unnecessary and inauthentic,” he said.
