Sloplap, the studio behind the beautiful but flawed Absolutely, take another step to make the perfect kung fu game. We had to see a minute-long preview of his latest project, Sifu, during Sony’s recent State of Play presentation. In a scene inspired by Old boy, we see the protagonist of the game, who wants revenge for the murder of their family, assumes a whole gang of thugs.
With a magic hanger, they can come alive again every time they fail, but the power has a cost. Every time they die, they get older. On Sifu’s website, Sloclap says you must improvise and use all the weapons in your area to take a chance against your enemies.
Sifu will be available on the PS4, PS5 and PC later this year via the Epic Games Store.
