Kung-Fu fighting title Sifu gets 2022 release date and new trailer

Following a delay announced at Sony’s State of Play presentation this past July, kung-fu fighting game Sifu now has a 2022 release date. Announced at the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase, the latest title from developer Sloclap is set to release on February 22, 2022. Sifu was originally scheduled to release sometime this year.

Originally announced this past February, Sifu puts players in the shoes of a young martial artist. Details on the game are few and far between, so we don’t know what drives him just yet, but he’s able to furiously attack enemies with multiple strikes and weapons, both classic and environmental.

The game’s appearance at Sony’s July State of Play showcase didn’t just serve to announce its delay — one of the game’s main elements was explained there as well. As players fight and inevitably get beaten, their character will progress in age. However, with age comes wisdom, and in this case, wisdom means better fighting techniques. It’s not clear exactly how getting older will affect players in Sifu, but the change is likely more than simply aesthetic. We’ll likely learn more about Sifu as we get closer to the game’s release date.

With its new release date, Sifu is the latest title to be releasing this upcoming February. Two other titles shown off during today’s Gamescom Opening Night Live show also have release dates that month. The upcoming self-titled reboot of Saints Row will launch on February 25, while Horizon Forbidden West has also been delayed to February 18.

When it launches this upcoming February, Sifu will be available on PlayStation 4, PS5, and PC.

FBC: Firebreak: release date, trailers, gameplay, and more
Three players pose together in FBC: Firebreak.

It wasn't until late into the game that we realized Control was part of the Alan Wake universe. After its DLC and Alan Wake 2 solidified the connection, excitement for Control 2 rose to the level of other upcoming video games like Death Stranding 2. While we still don't have a ton of information about the true sequel, we are getting a strange spinoff in the Control universe in the form of FBC: Firebreak. This is Remedy's first fully online multiplayer game, but loses none of that creative and off-kilter edge the studio is defined by. The walls are always shifting in the Oldest House but we managed to sneak in and grab all the documents we could on this new game.

This is just one upcoming PS5 game, upcoming Xbox Series X game, and upcoming PC game that deserves your attention so check them all out.
