Sloclap Unveils First Major Update for Record-Breaking Football Title Rematch
Since June 19th, Sloclap, the creators of Sifu, have found success with their new competitive football title, Rematch. Just a month after its launch, the game has attracted over 5 million unique players. To build on this achievement, Sloclap has released Rematch’s first major update, designed to enhance the gaming experience.
Sloclap announced that version 1.200.100 of Rematch launched yesterday for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This update introduces numerous features, with more details available on the official Rematch website. Key gameplay enhancements include the highly requested key remapping feature, which is currently basic but slated for future development. The update also improves ball detection, particularly for goalkeepers, who can now catch the ball more accurately instead of deflecting it in certain situations. Based on player feedback, Sloclap incorporated improvements across various aspects of the game. They enhanced the readability of the progression screen, introduced a Daltonian mode for accessibility, and added a voice channel for personalized match lobbies. Sloclap also addressed interface issues, visual bugs, and general game experience elements such as camera control, player collisions, in-match pause menus, and animations, all of which received significant improvements. Additionally, the update resolved bugs that caused crashes after a goal or automatic returns to the rankings screen when displaying match results.
On the artistic front, Sloclap added detail modifications for small actors on levels, new balloons in the prologue, and improved crowd textures for stadium appearances. Graphics quality has also been boosted by increasing the minimum Level of Detail (LOD) in settings.
Upcoming Netcode and Cross-Play Improvements for Rematch in Two to Three Weeks
Regarding future features, Sloclap stated that netcode and cross-play development will require more time. The team’s focus on other projects limits the pace of development for these specific features. While no exact release date is available, Sloclap confirmed significant progress is being made. This initial patch is just the first step; another major update is anticipated within two to three weeks, aiming to resolve additional community-reported issues. In the interim, players can expect multiple hotfixes addressing smaller problems before the next major update arrives.
