Sloclap, the studio behind the popular sports game Rematch, has reiterated that enabling cross-platform play remains a primary focus as they continue to refine the game and introduce highly anticipated features.
During a discussion with Eurogamer, CEO Pierre Tarno revealed that cross-play, initially intended for the game`s release, is part of a broader list of social functionalities the team plans to implement gradually. This includes features like spectating friends` matches and, quite fittingly for a game named `Rematch,` the option to request rematches.
These additions are central to what Tarno describes as Rematch`s four fundamental development pillars: social interaction, core gameplay mechanics, competitive modes, and casual play options, as reported by Eurogamer.
The absence of cross-play in Rematch became known to players merely a day before launch when Sloclap announced on their social media channels that implementing it was a `top priority for upcoming updates.`
Although a specific timeline for cross-play remains unconfirmed, Sloclap acknowledges the strong community demand for this feature. The team is presently focused on resolving numerous bugs and enhancing the game`s core framework to `continuously deepen and refine its mechanics.`
Tarno also detailed a range of planned improvements to Rematch`s fundamental gameplay, such as adjusting tackle mechanics to better reward or penalize players based on execution, and improving goalkeeping. Furthermore, the team is anticipating larger updates, including the introduction of clubs and tournaments later this year, and the addition of casual modes to run alongside Rematch`s inaugural season.
Despite these extensive plans, Tarno refrained from providing exact release dates, emphasizing that the development roadmap is somewhat flexible as the team prioritizes balancing the game and fixing bugs.
Evidently, these challenges have not hindered Rematch`s success, as the game has already attracted over a million unique players and continues to grow.
