Sifu, the martial arts adventure from Absolver developer Sloclap, finally has a release date and will release for PlayStation and PC on 22nd February next year.
Sifu is a a third-person, single-player action game, focussed on “intense hand-to-hand combat”, that follows a young Kung Fu student on a path of revenge as he hunts down his family’s murderers with nothing but a mysterious pendant and, possibly, the ability to palm-smash someone’s nose out the back of their head.
Actually that’s not quite true; as players make their way through Sifu’s world – “from the gang-ridden suburbs to the cold hallways of the corporate towers” – they’re encouraged to use everything at their disposal to overcome the odds and hunt down their targets, whether that be throwable objects or makeshift weapons strewn around the environment.
