Sifu Devs Are Making A Soccer Game, And I'm So Excited

I certainly wasn't expecting the next game from Sloclap, the developer responsible for martial arts games Absolver and Sifu, to be a soccer game, and yet here we are. As revealed during The Game Awards, Sloclap's next project is a 5v5 online multiplayer soccer game called Rematch. The game relies on the precise hitbox tech and fluid movements developed in Absolver and Sifu to craft a high-action and strategic soccer experience.

The vibrant blue and orange colors, lack of fouls or off-sides, focus on acrobatic plays, vibrant goal explosions, and ability to pass the ball off the wall and ceiling give Rematch strong Rocket League vibes, and I'm all for that. The game features a little more structure than something like Rocket League--each team in Rematch has a set goalie, for example--but FIFA or EA FC this is not. You're not controlling a whole team and playing by actual soccer rules; you're playing as a single person and doing your best to look as cool as possible while working alongside four other players.

You can play the ball off the walls, like in Rocket League.

Have you ever read or watched Blue Lock? Because that's the vibe this game is giving. Here's hoping it can pull that fantasy off.
