Giving birth Developer Sloclap announced that its kung fu brawler, Sifu, will be postponed to early 2022.
The announcement came at the end of a new teaser trailer that was unveiled during PlayStation’s State of Play event on Thursday. The game was originally due to appear in 2021.
In the game, your task is to “solve an ancient secret through a series of difficult confrontations that will test your skills to the limit”. To overcome adversity, the protagonist uses a magical pendant that resuscitates him after death. There’s only one twist – every time your character uses the pendant, it ages.
The new trailer showed the smooth fight the studio is known for in action. Sloclap described the game as “an elaborate and combat-accurate kung fu game that explores themes of revenge and redemption” when the studio first announced it.
Throughout the trailer, the main character fights various opponents, performing roundhouse kicks to the head and dealing punches in return. Periodically, the trailer includes title cards showing the character’s age ticking up. As they age, their character design changes; they are noticeably older and their hair turns gray.
Sifu will be released for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store).
