Many were stunned when Sloclap, developers of the well-received action game Sifu, unveiled their next game at the most recent Game Awards in December was not a follow-up to that title or even something more akin to it. Instead, the team showed off Rematch, an online 4-vs-4 or 5-vs-5 arcade style soccer/football game. Featuring players in a small arena doing fancy footwork and pulling off some big time shots. While defenders were seen sliding all over the place taking out players with reckless abandon.
At the time of its announcement, the reveal trailer only stated a release window of Summer 2025. Sloclap released a new trailer during the Triple-i Initiative showcase titled “The Golden Rules” and at the end of it, there was a release date of July 19 along with a logo for Xbox Game Pass as well.
Aspiring players can go to the Rematch website and pre-register for a chance at getting into several planned open betas, with the first one set to take place next week between April 18-19 for Steam/PC users.
Pre-orders are available for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation in three different pricing formats....
