- According to a new job listing, Sifu Studio’s upcoming game, Rematch, will be developed using Unreal Engine 5.
- The entry is also expected to be a 5v5 premium multiplayer game.
- The game is set to launch during the summer of 2025, with beta sign-ups already live for the upcoming spring.
Rematch is Sloclap’s next huge project—in development since 2022—after the highly successful launch and update support for Sifu over the years. However, barely anything official is known about the title besides its general description and a reveal trailer.
We have found a new job listing that confirms Rematch is using Unreal Engine 5 for its development. Such a move is expected since Sifu was built using Unreal Engine 4 and turned out with extremely gorgeous lighting and visuals.
Why it matters: Sloclap’s development of Rematch using UE5 could be both a boon and a bane for the upcoming soccer frenzy entry. It’s a 5v5 multiplayer title focused on action-packed soccer matches in scenic arenas.
The new job posting for Game Designer – Advanced claims that Sloclap is looking for an employee who has ‘good knowledge’ of Unreal Engine 5. The designer is also expected to whip up several of Rematch’s ‘game mechanics and systems.’
We are looking for a Game Designer for our next project whose main missions will be to design game mechanics and systems.
For those out of the loop, Rematch is set to arrive sometime this summer, with beta sign-ups already live for spring 2025. The exact release date will be announced later down the road.
All in all, it’s best to take these findings with a pinch of salt, as Sloclap might use Unreal Engine 4 instead. Since Rematch doesn’t appear to be an extremely demanding AAA title, it is also less likely to suffer from optimization issues and micro-stutters caused by UE5.
Do you think Sloclap’s new soccer entry will take advantage of all the Unreal Engine 5 quirks, or will it suffer setbacks instead? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the official Tech4Gamers forum.
