Sifu: Arena Updates Revealed; Xbox Launch Confirmed

Sloclap’s Sifu ended up being one of the most celebrated action beat-em-up games of last year, but a linear story can only keep fans engaged for so long.

Just in, we have a new update called the arena update, which gives Sifu players a new challenge including several game modes and all kinds of locations. Check this out:

Arena promises 5 game modes, 9 arenas, and 45 different challenges, Modes to choose from include Capture, Survive, Manhunt, Time Attack, and Performance.

With the game also launching as an exclusive for PC and PlayStation, the trailer has also revealed that Sifu will also be launching on the Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S come March 28. I guess it’s also worth mentioning that the game is currently available for the Nintendo Switch as well.

Here’s the official description for Sifu:

Sifu is the new game of Sloclap, the independent studio behind Absolver. A third-person action game featuring intense hand-to-hand combat, it puts you in control of a young Kung-Fu student on a path of revenge. Sifu is set against a detailed backdrop of a fictional Chinese city where players uncover an ancient mystery via a series of difficult confrontations that test their skills to the limit.

To overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, fighters need to rely on a 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 launches for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on March 28. The game is currently available for PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4|5.
