Sloclap, the studio behind the beautiful, but imperfect Absolve, are trying to make the perfect kung fu game. We had to see a one-minute preview of your most recent 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 to take revenge for the murder of his family, face an entire gang of gangsters.
A magic pendant allows them to come back to life whenever they fail, but that power comes at a cost. Each time they die, they get older. On Sifu website, Sloclap says that you will need to improvise and use all the weapons in your environment to have a chance against your enemies.
Sifu will be available on PS4, PS5 and PC through the Epic Games Store later this year.
