Who could have imagined such a change? Sloclap, the studio known for Sifu, has swapped China and martial arts for football. Their new game REMATCH brings a fresh perspective to the sport, focusing on fast-paced 5v5 matches that emphasize teamwork. The game has been confirmed for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam next year, and its debut trailer reveals vibrant virtual arenas and arcade-inspired online action.

The game aims to capture the essence of football through short, intense matches without fouls or offsides. Players take control of a single footballer from a third-person perspective. You can take on different roles, whether playing as a striker, defender, or a specially designed goalkeeper with unique abilities, depending on the needs of your team. Rematch also includes dribbling, wall bounces, and various signature moves.

In addition to the competitive 5v5 mode, REMATCH will offer options for even faster matches and various seasonal updates after launch, further enriching the game’s content. A selection of cosmetic items will let you personalize your characters, while new modes will be added each season to keep the game fresh and engaging long after release.
