Abubakar Salim, a British actor who starred in the HBO Max series Raised by Wolves, made his name in the video game business by providing the voice for a lead character in Assassin’s Creed: Origins.
A gaming enthusiast, Salim had long aspired to create a title of his own. And in March 2021, his dream came true. Electronic Arts (EA), a game publishing powerhouse, agreed to fund his Tales of Kenzera: Zau, which was released in April and made available for £17.99 on all major consoles as well as on Steam, the PC gaming platform.
Despite garnering largely positive reviews, Salim’s company, Surgent Studios, was forced last month to put gaming division “on hiatus while we secure funding for our next project”.
