The Arenas Mode: a new and massive expansion adding hours of gameplay!
With 9 new locations and 45 merciless challenges spread over 5 game modes, the Arenas Expansion is packing up to 10 extra hours of gameplay into the already demanding title. Masters of Kung Fu will be pushed to their limits as waves of enemies crash upon them in Survival mode, or pushed to perfection in the Performance mode. With Time Attack, players can also battle against the clock on a path filled with enemies. Sifus looking for a twist on the game’s impactful combat can try the new Capture mode - where players must take and hold a marked area - or Manhunt mode, where a specific target surrounded by protectors must be taken down.
About Sifu
Sifu follows the story of a young person who witnesses the death of their father and embarks on a quest for revenge after eight years of training in the ways of Kung Fu. In short, you can be the movie martial arts master with the fists and feet of fury they dreamed about.
The game brings to the table an immersive third-person action formula marrying intense hand-to-hand combat gameplay with an age-loop twist.
Sifu is currently available on PC (Epic Games Store), PlayStation® 5, PlayStation®4, and Nintendo Switch.
