New Sifu Update Released for PS5 and PS4

A new update for Sifu has today been released for those on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 platforms. This same patch is one that went live for PC users just a few days back, but developer Sloclap announced at the time that the PlayStation version of the update wouldn’t be coming until later on. Now, that patch has become available and it brings some notable adjustments to the action title. 

For the most part, update 1.07 in Sifu brings about a number of common bug fixes and other tweaks to the PS5 and PS4 versions of the game. In addition to these adjustments, though, the most noteworthy new thing that has been added to the game is Mandarin Chinese voiceover. Given that Sifu has been a massive hit in China, this move is one that will be greatly beneficial to those who live in the country.

To coincide with this update’s release, Sloclap also released a new video today that shows off how the studio recorded the Chinese dialogue for Sifu. The video itself is only about three minutes in length, but it provides some interesting insight into how this aspect of the title was developed.
