Record your best moves with Sifu’s new replay editor, a complete set of recording tools that allows fans the ability to create cinematic replays from within the game. Place the camera wherever you want, change its parameters, set up camera movements, add effects, slow down or speed up the action, and create your very own Kung Fu movie shots. These shots can then be used on any external editing software and pieced together to create a full-on cinematic masterpiece.
Also debuting in today’s Sifu Fall update are four new cheats and three new modifiers allowing for new play styles, including Free Throw, which allows you to unconditionally throw your foes, age-decreasing perks with the Vampire modifier, and a sweet new Touch of Death ability that immediately knocks enemies out if an attack lands correctly… Additionally, we’ve added some long-awaited quality-of-life changes, such as the option to carry your unlocked skills over from a previous save to a new one, as well as the ability to set your own camera distance during takedowns and bring the dynamic takedown camera close-ups back!
And no update would be complete without the addition of new outfits: now you can roundhouse kick your way while looking fly with three unlockable outfits, including a slick-looking Wing Chun outfit, available in dark and light versions. The tough-as-nails “Stunt Double” outfit is available only to Deluxe owners.
Sifu launched on Feb. 8 of this year from developer and publisher Sloclap (Absolver) and is available today on PlayStation, Switch, and on PC through the Epic Games Store for $39.99. Sifu unfolds a story of revenge and redemption set against a backdrop of a fictional Chinese city where players uncover an ancient mystery via a series of difficult confrontations that test their skills to the limit. To overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, fighters need to rely on a mastery of Kung Fu and a magical pendant that revives them after death. The cost of magic is dear, however, and drastically ages a fighter with each revival: time is the price paid for revenge.
The game launched to globally positive reviews from international critics and currently boasts several Game of the Year nominations across a variety of categories from respected media outlets around the world.
Sifu tells a fictional tale of revenge in a fictional city, but the game’s authenticity shines through in its true-to-form combat and also in the level of detail Sloclap included in the game’s visually stunning environments. Sifu’s attention to detail provides players with an elevated sense of immersion as they traverse through a fictional city on their path to redemption.
Sifu is available for $39.99 USD for the standard edition and $49.99 USD for the Deluxe Edition.
