Sloclap | PARIS (Dec. 20, 2022) – Sloclap announced today that Kung-Fu revenge epic Sifu is set to debut its stylized and celebrated martial arts combat on Xbox and Steam this March in a colossal free update that includes a challenging new Arenas mode and more.

The new Arenas mode will sport nine stylish new maps, each featuring exclusive new challenges of varying difficulty levels, adding multiple hours of the classic Sifu gameplay fans have come to love. Successfully completing the arenas will progressively unlock a massive new modifiers batch, which doubles the current game's amount and notably brings alternative moves to the Kung-Fu palette of our main character. Completing the new Arenas challenges will also unlock new cheats and exclusive new outfits
Sifu is one of 2022’s most successful games both commercially and critically, with 1.5 million copies sold to date and several Game of the Year nominations across respected international media outlets. Lauded for its attention to detail and fast-paced, precise animation, Sifu is a game like no other, and now students and masters can enjoy one of the year’s best games on the platform of their choice: PC (Epic and Steam), Xbox One/X|S, PlayStation (4/5) and Nintendo Switch.
Earlier this month, Sloclap revealed the fall update, providing fans looking to share their coolest moves with a Replay Editor - a complete set of recording tools that allows fans the ability to create cinematic replays from within the game. The fall update also rolled out several new challenges, cheats and modifiers, including coveted new outfits for players looking to deck themselves out in stylish new duds.
Xbox and Steam fans can look forward to a story of revenge and redemption when they get their hands on Sifu early next year. Set to the backdrop of a fictional Chinese city, players uncover an ancient mystery via a series of difficult confrontations that test the limit of their skills. To overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, fighters need to rely on their 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.
Sifu will be available for $39.99 USD for Xbox and Steam when it launches in March. The Steam Deluxe Edition will be available for $49.99 USD. It is currently available on PC (Epic Game Store), PlayStation (4/5) and Nintendo Switch.
More information on the March update will be revealed closer to its release with deeper looks at the new mode and content coming in the update - fans can stay up to date by checking www.sifugame.com and @sifugame on Twitter.
