The million+ selling martial arts megahit goes handheld

PARIS (Nov. 8, 2022) – Whether you’re at the grocery store or gym, in a car or a train, you’ll always have Kung-Fu now that Sifu, the hit beat ‘em up from developer and publisher Sloclap, is available on Switch. Starting today, longtime fans of the game or avid Switch users who’ve been waiting for Sifu’s arrival can purchase it on the Nintendo E-Shop, or physically from select retailers. 

Players looking to fully devote themselves to the world of Sifu can also purchase the physical Redemption Edition, which features a SteelBook copy of the game for the Nintendo Switch, as well as a detailed figurine, pendant of tenacity, beautiful lithograph set and a stunning 160-page ‘Behind the Art of Sifu’ developer’s diary. 

Sifu places players in the shoes of a Pak Mei Kung-Fu student who has spent their life training for a day of reckoning after the brutal murder of their entire family by a mysterious assassination squad. With just one day and countless enemies in their way, players must beat insurmountable odds and defeat members of the powerful organization to claim revenge. However, on such a quest for vengeance, time is the price paid. With a magical talisman to revive players after death, defeat doesn’t spell the end. Though the student always gets back up, the cost of magic is dear, however, and they will age significantly every time they come back to life. 

Following its debut on PlayStation consoles and PC in February, Sifu was hailed as one of 2022’s early GOTY contenders, surpassing more than one million copies sold in its first three weeks and garnering critical acclaim. Sloclap’s support of Sifu has been extensive, with two updates having launched throughout this year that added difficulty modes, a long list of exciting gameplay modifiers, new outfits and more. All update content added to Sifu to date will be available in the game’s Switch version.

World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends bring in a fresh shipment of content for November

• The world’s biggest naval MMO across PC and console releases its shipment of new content headlined with Japanese ships for November
• Japanese light cruisers make way to Early Access and submarines come to the tech tree in World of Warships on PC
• Tier VIII Premium Japanese destroyer Hayate awaits players at the end of the Brewing Storm campaign with pirate booty coming to World of Warships: Legends on Xbox and PlayStation

7^thNovember – World of Warships and World of Warships: Legends, have launched two absolutely packed November updates. World of Warships on PC sees playable submarines landing in the tech tree, as well as an impressive selection of Japanese light cruisers entering Early Access. Console players are also treated to new ships and content in World of Warships: Legends with a five-week, 100-milestone campaign where Japanese Premium Tier VIII  destroyer Hayate awaits, and a Treasure Chest of pirate content including two new Captains and crates with various plunder inside, including a fistful of guaranteed doubloons.

Japanese light cruisers and submarines set to sea

Kicking off World of Warships November content drop is the introduction of six new Japanese light cruisers to Early Access. These ships are armed with high-damage and high-range torpedoes to strike significant damage on enemies from far away. Further enabling sneak attacks, these cruisers can take advantage of the element of surprise using their good camouflaging. From Tier VII upwards ships in this range sport torpedo tubes equipped with a revolving mechanic, and Tier VIII upwards also see the addition of a large number of main battery guns.

These ships are available to players through a wide range of means, with some ships available through consecutive sets like the Agano, Gokase and Shimanto, and others available through combat missions and in random packs.

As these ships enter Early Access, submarines have departed and made their way to the tech tree, with German and American submarines researchable to all players. These covert vessels span Tier VI-X, and can strike lethal damage with their powerful torpedoes. The two nations offer different opportunities for gameplay, as German ships sport long-range acoustically guided torpedoes and a wide margin of autonomy, while the American submarines are equipped with short-range acoustic torpedoes and boast quicker recovery.

Premium Japanese destroyer and Pirate antics

World of Warships: Legends also offers Japanese watercraft to its players, with Japanese Tier VIII Premium destroyer Hayate waiting at the end of a classic Warships-style Brewing Storm campaign, taking place across five weeks with 100 milestones to achieve. Hayate is powerful, with a sturdy HP pool, as well as impressive torpedoes and excellent fire-starting capabilities. To secure this beauty, players must complete Brewing Storm with Admiralty Backing active; however a catch-up mechanic is in place alongside Heroic Effort missions to help carry stragglers to victory.

Pirates also come on board in this update, with plenty of treasure for players to unearth, including two new Captains, each with their own unique voiceover, two new ships Caprice and La Foudre, and themed Treasure Chest Crates packed full of doubloons and plenty of other treats. Beyond this pirate content is the addition of six new ships for British and French navies, with three vessels for each nation. One destroyer, one cruiser and one battleship, including French Alsace and the British cruiser Neptune, can be located in the tech tree.

Finally, World of Warships: Legends celebrates Black Friday with a robust offering of deals and discounts across the board, from black ships to Commander Progression Items. The range consists of five impressive black warships, including famed battleship Bismarck and an Italian powerhouse Dante Alighieri, with the latter available through a special Black Friday mission.
