Chris InglisDevelopers Sloclap and publisher Microids recently announced that Kung-Fu-packed brawler game Sifu will have both a Standard Edition and a limited “Vengeance Edition” for Xbox Series X and Xbox One. Available to pre-order now, the Xbox Series X and Xbox One retail versions of Sifu will be available in April 2023. Famous for its hit multiplayer game Absolver (2017), the Parisian studio comes back with its sophomore title offering a mix of high-octane action set against a backdrop of Kung Fu and revenge.
Sifu follows the story of a young person who witnesses the death of their father and embarks on a quest for revenge after eight years of training in the ways of Kung Fu. In short, you can be the movie martial arts master with the fists and feet of fury they dreamed about. The game brings to the table an immersive third-person action formula marrying intense hand-to-hand combat gameplay with an age-loop twist.
The Vengeance Edition of Sifu will include:
- The game on Xbox One/Xbox Series X
- An exclusive SteelBook case
- ‘The Art of Sifu’ print artbook
- The original game score (digital)
- 3 lithographs
Players who already own the game on PlayStation 4/5, Nintendo Switch or Epic Games Store won’t be left out as the “Redemption Set” collector’s box set is already available, including:
- An 8-inch (20cm) figurine representing the Student
- A tenacity pendant
- A 160-page ‘Behind the Art of Sifu’ Developers Diary published by Pix’n Love
