Sloclap shared the new release date in a trailer that also shows off the game’s unique death system. Sifu is a kung fu-inspired game, much like Absolver, but it’s narrative-driven and every time a player dies, they return to the fight as an older version of themselves. Sifu is all about hand-to-hand combat and magical age progression, and it tells a violent tale of revenge suitable for any age — well, teens and up, according to the ESRB.
The game’s first trailer was inspired by Old Boy and today’s video is called, “Sifu – Fight Club Gameplay Teaser,” so we’re sensing a film-centric theme, too.
