Opening Night Live host Geoff Keighley also revealed that he got the chance to play the PlayStation console exclusive and that the game “plays just as good as it looks.” Additionally, he comparedSifuto another 3D action-brawler series, theBatman Arkhamgames, but also noted that it still requires precision, like in 2D fighting games such asMortal KombatorStreet Fighter.
WhileSifu’s delay into 2022was definitely a disappointment for fans who are anticipating the game, it’s nice to know that the wait won’t be too long into the new year. What’s more, the time between the delay announcement in July and the new release date announcement was relatively short, so the fighter still seems to be high on plenty of gaming enthusiasts’ anticipated games lists for 2022.
Sifuwill bereleasing in February alongsideHorizon: Forbidden West,which also revealed its release date during Opening Night Live. WithHorizon, the untitledGod of Warsequel, andGran Turismo 7, it seems like PlayStation owners will have quite the action-packed year, andSifuis only going to sweeten the pot.
When the studio behindSifu, Sloclap, announced thatthe game would be showcased during Opening Night Live on Twitter, it also remarked that it has more to show before the summer ends. It’s not currently clear if the game’s appearance at Gamescom was all that the studio was referring to in the tweet, but as there are only a few weeks left in the season, there’s potentially more information about the title on the way.
