Check out the final and epic Arenas content in today's launch trailer.
To celebrate this major last update, Sifu will be available for purchase at 50% off until Dec. 3 for North American and European Switch owners.
Sifu is a highly stylized revenge story told through meticulously designed beat ‘em up Kung-Fu action. Players walk in the shoes of a young Pak Mei Kung-Fu student as they venture out into a fictional Chinese city to avenge their fallen master. The only things players have to defend themselves are their Kung-Fu abilities, mastered through years of training, and a magical pendant that prevents death, but causes rapid aging.
Sifu has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide to date, receiving global praise from critics and several award nominations. It is the second game from French development studio Sloclap, who is currently in development of the studio’s third title.

About Sifu:
Taking place in a fictional Chinese city, Sifu guides players on a quest for revenge that deftly weaves through multiple increasingly difficult confrontations. To overcome these odds, players will have to master Pak Mei Kung-Fu and learn the weaknesses of their formidable enemies.
Twisting between two distinct genres - roguelike and beat-’em-up - Sifu offers a wholly unique gameplay experience, truly challenging players to perform perfectly. With an emphasis on growing and learning from mistakes, players will have to use all of their knowledge to break the cycle of revenge.
