Sloclap’s highly anticipated martial arts video game Sifu now has a release date after being revealed earlier this year. It’ll be coming out on February 22, 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC through the Epic Games Store for $39.99. The Deluxe Edition will be $49.99.
The release date was at the end of the new Gamescom trailer where it quickly went through a handful of different locales and showed the protagonist kicking all sorts of ass. Host Geoff Keighley said that he played some Sifu and the combat was a lot like the Batman: Arkham title and a fighting game.

The game takes place in a fictional city in China where the protagonist is out for revenge. Thanks to a magical amulet, running out of health does not spell the end of the game as he only comes back older, which is why some parts of the trailers sometimes showcase a geriatric man throwing the punches and kicks.
