Following the success ofClair Obscur: Expedition 33, publisher Kepler Interactive is looking to keep the ball rolling in 2025. There’s a strong chance that will happen next month when Rematch, the newest game fromSifudeveloperSloclap, is set to release.
The online multiplayer game looks to offer a fresh take on soccer, drawing comparisons toRocket League. There are no penalties, offside calls, or out-of-bounds; just frantic action in a 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5 environment.

Given Sloclap’s history of excellent action titles, there’s a lot of promise leading up to release to possibly become the next big thing in online multiplayer gaming. The game’s a day one release on Game Pass could help buoy its success.
Still, some are unsure about the game. For those on the fence aboutRematch, you’ll have a chance to dive into the action before the game launches on June 19th.
Rematch’s Beta Is Free For All Platforms Until May 31st
Sloclapannounced that the game’s beta, which was previously invite only, is open to all players on Xbox, PS5, and PC. From now through May 31st, you can step onto the pitch and play in 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 modes.
It will be nice to dive into the game and see if it’s worth your money since iteschews the free-to-play model. “If you make a game that’s good enough, that’s unique enough—even if players say, ‘Oh, it’s an online game with a competitive edge, it should be free-to-play otherwise it’s dead on arrival,'” Creative Director Pierre Tamo said last month. “I think that’s not true. I think that if it’s original and solid, plus very reasonably priced, players will get it.”
