A new trailer for Sloclap’s upcoming Kung Fu focused game, Sifu, has released putting the focus on the impressive looking gameplay.
Since it was revealed during Sony’s State of Play presentation back in February, I’ve been very eager to see more about Sifu. The upcoming game hooked me on it’s Kung Fu premise and action packed nature, and today’s all new gameplay-centric trailer has my hype in full gear:
This seriously looks like you’ll be playing through an epic Kung Fu movie. Hell, it has me pining for a new Matrix game using this type of fight style. Color me impressed and my fingers itching to get my hands on this one.
Sifu’s unique gameplay sits in the crossroads of two established and popular genres, mashing the intensity and timeless thrill of beat em ups with the gripping design of 3D character action games. Set against a detailed backdrop of a fictional Chinese city, you will uncover an ancient mystery via a series of difficult confrontations that will test your skills to their limit. To overcome the odds that are heavily stacked against you, you’ll need to rely on your mastery of Kung Fu, and on a magical pendant that will revive you after death. The cost of magic is dear, however, and you will age significantly every time you come back to life: time is the price you will pay for your revenge.
Exquisitely hand-drawn art styles and the muted color palette lend themselves to Kung Fu film classics where themes of revenge and redemption are timeless tales, all perfectly blending with Sloclap’s martial arts gameplay expertise, to create a truly unique singleplayer Kung Fu game.
Sifu is set to launch on PS4|5 and PCs via the Epic Game Store “soon.”
