Abubakar Salim has plenty of experience with the dark side of Hollywood. The actor-turned-game-director has appeared in TV shows like Raised by Wolves and House of the Dragon, on top of starring in games like Assassin’s Creed: Origins. In 2024, Salim’s Surgent Studios debuted its first game, a Metroidvania heavily inspired by African mythology, called Tales of Kenzera: Zau.
Zau was an intensely personal game for Salim, exploring the trauma left by his father’s passing. Now he’s ready to debut his second game, and it’s no less personal, but in an entirely different way — molded by the experiences of himself and others in the world of entertainment.
