Hyper-realistic sports simulators have dominated the sports gaming genre for a while now.
However, weve been seeing some titles carve out a unique path for themselves.
Among them is the upcomingRematch.
Heres everything we know aboutRematchso far.
What is Rematch?
Rematchis an upcoming highlystylized soccer game.
Visually, you might mistake it forSifu.
The graphics and animations are exactly the same.
Its unsurprising, givenRematchcomes fromSifus developing team.
In any case, the announcement came as a nice surprise.
Now, we might actually be looking at a possibleRocket League(without the cars, of course).
In the game, youll be controlling one player in a five-person team.
The matches will be against another team, taking place via fast-paced gameplay and from an immersive third-person perspective.
Through online co-op, youll be able to connect to players worldwide and figure out the bestRematchplayer among you.
Itll also have in-app purchases.
So, likely a free-to-play title.
Story
For now, we dont have information on the storylineRematchwill likely take.
But well be sure to let you know once we find out more.
Itll employ the ordinary rules of football.
However, the art style (and some gameplay, I presume) will have an arcade twist.
Also, interestingly enough, there will be no offsides, fouls, or pausing of matches.
Itll be non-stop action through and through.
Accuracy, quick response times, and teamwork will still matter, just like in real-world football.
Online Co-op
The final part of the gameplay is theonline co-opmode.
However, the game assures fairness.
Development
Sloclap and Kepler Interactive are working together to bringRematchto market.
Both studios are more popularly known forSifu, which perhaps bears the closest resemblance to the upcoming game.
I mean, the graphics and animations are so similar, its uncanny.
Still,Sifuwas excellent, which makes the wait forRematchhopeful.
Both studios have worked on more games.
However, Sloclap has been operating as an indie developer, with their first game beingAbsolver.
They seem to be dipping their toes in fresh waters with a soccer game.
Kepler Interactive, on the other hand, is a worldwide publisher and developer.
