Rematch Early Access Live Alongside New Update With Lots of Changes

by

The teamwork of Slocap and Kepler Interactive has brought Rematch to Early Access, a step before its official launch on June 19 for PC, PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. This follows a successful beta phase for their soccer/football game. Additionally, along with the Early Access debut, they’ve rolled out a new update, which includes all the modifications and enhancements detailed in the accompanying patch notes.

For the recent Rematch update, Slocap and Kepler Interactive have shared the patch details, but they haven’t mentioned the update’s file size yet, leaving Early Access players wondering about the download size. Fortunately, as there is no new content added, the file size should be relatively small.

Here are the details about the June 16 Rematch update, as shared by the mentioned team:

Or, more informally:

Check out what the team announced regarding the June 16 Rematch update below:

Both versions convey the same information but have different tones and styles. The first is more formal and professional, while the second is more casual and conversational. Choose the one that best fits your intended audience and context.

Rainbow Flick

As a fan, I’m excited about the adjustments made based on feedback from the second beta testing round. Originally, we tweaked the rainbow flick, but now we’re going back to our initial approach for the first contact with the ball using the volley variation of the rainbow flick. It should feel as swift and seamless as it did in the first beta test. However, some fine-tuning changes are still being implemented for chained flicks to ensure the ball doesn’t stay out of play for an extended period.

Mouse and keyboard tap

We’ve significantly addressed numerous issues with the novel tap aiming system for both mouse and keyboard use, enhancing its overall user experience. This revision makes it simpler to aim a full 360 degrees around your character, eliminating any unwanted “sticking” or unintended direction changes during aiming.

When operating the latest system, kindly note that the mouse functions like a joystick. This means that moving your mouse diagonally rather than just horizontally will help you master all angles more effectively. Rest assured, we are diligently watching over this new system and have plans to enhance it further in upcoming updates.

Mouse and keyboard remapping

Now you can customize input assignments for both your mouse and keyboard! This means you have the freedom to arrange controls according to your preference. Additionally, you have an option to enable or disable the “modifier” feature that binds certain actions to two inputs (either a modifier key plus tap or pushball) instead of a single one.

While utilizing the remapping function, you may run into a few glitches, however, rest assured we’re working diligently to resolve these issues promptly.

Controller remapping is also coming later this season, as well as more advanced remapping options.
