The popular 5v5 online multiplayer soccer game, Rematch, is set to receive a physical Elite Edition. This special release will launch on November 14 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
Developed by Slocap, the studio behind acclaimed titles like Sifu and Absolver, Rematch offers a truly unique take on the sport. Its distinct approach has made it a favorite among fans seeking an alternative to more traditional soccer simulations.
Pre-orders for the physical Rematch Elite Edition for PS5 are now available for $40. Pre-orders for Xbox and PC physical editions are expected to follow soon. While no specific pre-order bonuses are offered, the Elite Edition comes packed with exclusive in-game content:
- Base game
- Captain Pass Upgrade Ticket (x2)
- Blazon Player Background and Title
- Blazon Buckler Tank Top
- Blazon Pattern for Top and Bottom clothes
- Blazon Jewel Set
- Glitcher Trainers
- Blazon Augmented Reality Cage
- Blazon Cap
Digital versions of Rematch are already available on PS5, Xbox, and PC via Steam, including a $30 standard edition, a $40 Rematch Pro Edition, and a digital Elite Edition also priced at $40. The new physical Elite Edition matches the digital Elite Edition`s price and includes the same content.
Rematch stands out with its fast-paced, arcade-style gameplay. Unlike other soccer video games, each team consists of five players, and the game eliminates fouls, offsides, and out-of-bounds rules. The enclosed pitches, featuring invisible walls, allow players to strategically bounce the ball, creating a dynamic and distinctive sports experience.
A review praised Rematch with a 7/10 score, highlighting its unique skill-based gameplay, satisfying shooting mechanics, and the crucial need for teamwork. A critic described it as “a different kind of football game, yet it`s intuitive, and the allure of improving your skill level is captivating.”
