Season 2 of Rematch steps onto the pitch today.
The game gets a fun (or tense, depending on your perspective) new addition with the all-new 1v1 mode, allowing players to go head-to-head. Face challengers one on one and hone your dribbling skills to be the best of the best on the pitch. The mode will be available in January and will return later in the season as a Custom Game option.
Alongside the new 1v1 mode in the Backstreet Arena Stadium, Sloclap has implemented a variety of updates that improve player immersion including new Goalkeeper animations and noteworthy upgrades to locomotion and dribbling, allowing for more reactive and fluid movement on the pitch.. And for those who want a bit more variety in their stadiums, the studio introduces two new gorgeous virtual arenas: the Clouds VR transports player to a whimsical and captivating skyhigh arena, while the new Dragon Bay VR harkens an exotic tropical mountain region with imposing jutting peaks and ethereal mist at the twilight hours.
To fully embrace the holiday spirit, players can also take the field in style (or something close to it) with the delightfully questionable Ugly Sweater bundle, available from December 17 for three weeks of festive, fashion-defying fun. And later in Season 2, the explosive Fireball Mode makes its return. In this fast-paced twist, teamwork reigns supreme: the more passes your squad strings together, the higher your score when the ball finally rockets into the net.
Check out our Rematch review to hear what we thought, Slocap has been hard at work making both technical and content improvements to the game since then too.
Rematch is available now on PC, Xbox and PS5.
