In recent years, news of the postponement has become commonplace; There are often news of postponements. But this time, it’s not a reprieve, it’s about the release date being delayed.
Sifu would normally debut on 22.02.2022 (What a nice release date, isn’t it?). But with the latest announcement and the new release date video shared, it was announced that the game had been brought forward by two weeks and would be released on February 8.
In the statement; “We have come a long way in getting the game ready for release and we are pleased to announce that we can get Sifu out two weeks early.” Although the reason for this move is not clearly stated, it can be easily removed from the lines of the statement; With this change, players are said to want to offer an opportunity to play Sifu in this important month of AAA games.
New promotional videos for the game were also shared:

As you know, Elden Ring’s release date was postponed until February 25th. Destiny 2: The Witch Queen arrives on February 22. Total War: Warhammer III is released on 17 February; Horizon Forbidden West will be released on February 18. Dying Light 2 will now debut on February 4 if it is not postponed again. In addition, there are important productions announced in the first months of 2022.
So it looks like it’s going to be a tough challenge for Sifu to be able to stand in the face of such big games. Naturally, they also drawn the release date of the game to a range where the calendar was a little more comfortable, and they did well.
