Sifu was shown off, and now Microids has confirmed that a physical release is in the works.
Sifu editions
Players who buy the Redemption Edition will get a copy of the game, an exclusive steelbook, a digital version of the game’s original score, and three lithographs. The Redemption Edition has everything in the Vengeance Edition, plus a print artbook called “The Art of Sifu” and a figurine.
You can also get the Redemption Set if you already own Sifu on another platform and want some extra goodies. This comes with the figure, a “Tenacity” pendant, and a 160-page book called “Behind the Art of Sifu” by Pix’n Love.
About Sifu
Sifu is a story about a young Kung Fu student who has spent their whole life training for a day of reckoning after their whole family was brutally killed by a mysterious assassination squad. The movie has the same gripping intensity as classic Kung Fu movies and has realistic and raw fight scenes.
The unique gameplay of Sifu is a mix of two well-known game types. It combines the intensity and thrill of beat-em-up games with the gripping design of 3D action games. Set in a detailed made-up Chinese city, you will solve an ancient mystery through a series of hard fights that will push your skills to the limit. The odds are stacked against you, so you’ll need to rely on your Kung Fu skills and a magical pendant that will bring you back to life if you die. But magic is expensive, and every time you come back to life, you will have aged a lot. You will have to wait for your revenge.
The game’s beautiful hand-drawn art style is a tribute to classic Kung Fu movies, where themes of revenge and redemption have been told for a long time. This fits perfectly with Sloclap’s expertise in martial arts gameplay. Sifu takes a unique look at martial arts and its themes, which makes this game a real journey of discovery.
On November 8, both physical and digital copies of Sifu for Nintendo Switch, as well as the Redemption Set, will be available
