Sifu is fighting back to a release on Switch this November
During the recent Nintendo Direct, developer Sloclap showed up to announce that Sifu, their unique martial arts game, will fight to release onto Switch this November 8, check out the reveal trailer for the game below.
Sifu places players in the shoes of a Pak Mei Kung-Fu student who has spent their life training for a day of reckoning after the brutal murder of their entire family by a mysterious assassination squad. With just one day and countless enemies in their way, players must beat insurmountable odds and defeat members of the powerful organization to claim revenge. However, on such a quest for vengeance, time is the price paid. With a magical talisman to revive players after death, defeat doesn’t spell the end. Though the student always gets back, the cost of magic is dear, however, and they will age significantly every time they come back to life.
The game can be ordered now digitally, but there is also a physical edition of the game coming. Called the Redemption Edition, it comes with a SteelBook, copy of the game for the Nintendo Switch, as well as a figurine, pendant of tenacity, lithograph set and a 160-page ‘Behind the Art of Sifu’ developer’s diary. There is no word on a local release for this one.
This marks the debut of the developer onto a Nintendo platform as well.
