Written by Brandon Hofer on February 03, 2022

News: A new live-action short film has just been released for Sifu ahead of the game’s launch next week.

Sifu developers at Sloclap have released an eight-minute live-action short today, "The Cost of Time" which features an absolute barrage of action.

Sloclap partnered with director Christopher Clark Cowan (YouTube RivenX3i) to bring Sifu to fans in a live-action short film. Follow the main character as they hunt down Fajar, one of the assassins who killed their father.

Sifu is the story of a young Kung Fu student on a path of revenge, hunting for the murderers of his family. One against all, he has no allies and countless enemies. He has to rely on his unique mastery of Kung Fu as well as a mysterious pendant to prevail and preserve his family’s legacy.

The hunt for your enemies will take you through the hidden corners of the city, from the gang-ridden suburbs to the cold hallways of the corporate towers. You have got one day, and countless enemies on your way. For every mistake, time will be the price to pay.

Careful positioning and clever use of the environment to your advantage are key to your survival. Use everything at your disposal: throwable objects, makeshift weapons, windows, and ledges... the odds are stacked against you, and you will be offered no mercy.

Kung Fu is mastery through practice, a path for both the body and the mind. Learn from your errors, unlock unique skills, and find the strength within yourself to master the devastating techniques of Pak-Mei Kung-Fu.
