Sloclap has confirmed that the free Arenas expansion for Sifu will be released on March 28th, adding a host of new content for players to experience. Sloclap has confirmed that this expansion will add around 10 hours of gameplay. This Arenas expansion is actually the first of two releases, with more Arenas content expected later on this year.

Sifu Arenas expansion will add nine new locations with 45 challenges shared over five different game modes. Those five modes are Survival, Time Attack, Performance, Manhunt, and Capture, and all offer different experiences. In Survival mode waves of enemies come in to attack the player, with players trying to survive as long as possible. Performance mode will require players to perform perfectly when dealing with enemies. Capture is where players have to hold an area against enemies, while in Time Attack players will face off against the clock to take out enemies. Manhunt has players hunting down a specific character that is protected by groups of enemies.

In our Sifu review, Jason said, “Sifu is a game that I wanted to love. I had high hopes for it being one of my game of the year contenders, but it left me feeling intensely deflated instead. It’s a game that confuses the precise mechanical difficulty of Sekiro with a forced difficulty brought on by simply giving bosses armour. I find myself irrationally angry with Sifu. Sifu is a game that had exceptional potential, but squandered it on the wrong lessons.”

Sloclap has updated the game since that review adding additional difficulty options and training modes.Sifu is the second title from French game developer, Sloclap. Their debut game, Absolver, was similarly ambitious in its attempts to create a stylish hit with martial arts combat
