Sifu developer Sloclap has told an industry accessibility advocate that the🌸 studio is committed to bringing new accessibility features to the fighting game, including difficulty modes.

Though co-founder Pierre Tarno stopped short of confirming when, exactly, the new features might be available, ?'s Steve Saylor tweeted the "break[ingﷺ] news" that the post-launch updates will include better captions, high contrast mode (right꧙ now it only works on PC following a bug on console), and - perhaps most interestingly - difficulty modes.

Saylor explained that "both easier 🦄and harder" modes are on the way, not dissimilar to "Metroid Dread's u𝓰pdate".

The difficulty modes, in particular, are attracting attention on social media, with some respondents delighted at th💝e opportunity to try an easier - or even harder - mode, whilst others are s🥃eemingly unhappy at the development to make the game easier for some people.

"Sifu's combat isn't just fun, it's satisfying and addictive, it's nuanced and intuitive, it oozes charisma and it's damn challenging – all the while powered, for the most part, by just four buttons: light attack, strong attack, block and dodge," we said,🥃 awarding the game 4.5 stars out of 5.

"Still, players can expect to unleash over 150 moves through a variety of combos – many of which harness the special abilities noted earlier, some of which involve activa🥀ting a range of slow-motion, limb-targeting Focus Attackꦚs – while making use of environmental weapons such as wooden staffs, table legs, bricks, bottles, baseball bats, katanas, and malleable iron pipes to name but a few of the tools at your disposal."

Sifu is out right now on PC as well as a PlayStation console exclusive on both PS4 and PS5. Sifu has been beaten in just 40 minutes with zero deaths by one expert player but if you're not quite that tough yet, take a look at our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sifu tips if you'd like to try a speedrun of yo♔ur own.
