Sifu‘s developers haven’t confirmed its next game. Nevertheless, many fans are already looking forward to whatever they have up their sleeves following back-to-back hits in Absolver and Sifu.

Sifu‘s inclusion on PS Plus coincides with its second-year anniversary. To celebrate this, Sloclap confirmed two things: Sifu has sold three million copies and two final outfits are coming to the game.
