From the makers of Absolver, the martial arts game Sifu finally has a release date. Sifu will hit theaters on February 22, 2022.
Sifu puts you in the shoes of an aging martial arts master with Absolver's brand of elaborate, highly detailed physical combat. One of the main tricks is that your character ages every time he is defeated, transforming from a fresh-faced student to a hardened, grown-up master right before your eyes.
The new trailer shows off a mix of new and previously seen locations. We have a trendy nightclub full of breakable bottles and an art gallery to destroy priceless artifacts. There's even a fun physics simulation where you fight a few bad guys in a room with a dangling ink brush that covers the floor when someone is pushed into it.
Developer Sloclap also announced that the deluxe edition of Sifu will allow earlier access to the game 48 hours before its general release date. Sifu will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store.
Sifu was previously delayed to 2022, but with that commitment six months later, further pullback of the game seems unlikely.
