Sifu developer Sloclap has today released a massive new update for its popular action title. Over the past couple of months since first launching, Sifu has received a handful of small updates on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC that have added a couple of new features. Now, today’s latest patch is one of the biggest that the game has received so far and is the first of many more updates of this scale that will roll out across 2022.
As of this moment, update 1.08 for Sifu is available to download across all platforms. The biggest thing that this patch does is add new difficulty modes for players to toggle through. For those that are looking for a greater challenge, hard mode has been added to Sifu, while those looking to merely experience the game’s story can turn on easy mode. In addition, new features in the training room have also come about as part of this update.
