For years, PUMA has encouraged athletes to be the best version of themselves, both on and off the field, with their stylish performance clothing. Today, the brand joins the main roster of Rematch, the action online game from Sloclap for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Since its release on June 19, Rematch has conquered the gaming world with over three million players in its first week and more than 13 million matches played. Partnerships are essential for Rematch to deliver the best content and experience. The game not only aims to convey the feeling and joy of “playing” football but also seeks to capture the entire cultural spectrum around the sport, where fashion, competition, and self-expression meet. This is where brands like PUMA come in, helping to solidify the game’s identity and offering players genuine customization opportunities. The new partnership between Rematch and Puma allows players to customize their gear with a Puma-exclusive outfit. This is the only Puma-exclusive outfit currently in Rematch, but more Puma clothing options will be added over time. The in-game Rematch outfit consists of popular real-life Puma collections mixed and matched to create a stylish look, allowing players to feel like true professional athletes. The announcement of this collaboration was accompanied by an official teaser video showing some of the new items. This is the first time Puma has collaborated with a game like Rematch.
At Sloclap, we always wanted Rematch to reflect all the energy, style, competition, and self-expression. PUMA is the perfect partner for this: its strong presence in both games and football makes it an obvious choice. More importantly, we share a creative vision and a player-centric approach, making this collaboration seem like a perfect match,” says Félix Garczynski, marketing and publishing head at Sloclap. The choice of PUMA is not coincidental. As a footwear and streetwear brand with strong ties to professional football and growing presence in the gaming world – from collaborations with PlayStation, Minecraft, and Rocket League to sports franchises like EA FC – PUMA brings credibility and creative value to the project. Rematch receives a new exclusive outfit in partnership with PUMA – partnership between Rematch and Puma for the launch of a new exclusive outfit. Ivan Dashkov, PUMA’s director of emergent marketing technologies, says, “Football is in PUMA’s DNA, so entering Rematch – a game already generating significant buzz – is a natural fit.” He adds, “We’re excited to be in a space where we feel at home, both culturally and competitively. Our Digital Goods team takes pride in joining forces with Sloclap and Kepler Interactive, especially following the resounding success of Expedition 33. Their commitment to high-quality gaming makes this collaboration even more significant.”
