REMATCH is in Season 5, which began September 24 and includes a Blue Lock collaboration running until October 23. The game is available on PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and on Xbox and PC Game Pass.
REMATCH released in June 2025 as a 5-on-5 online soccer game with no fouls or offsides, played from a third-person view with each player controlling a single player. Sloclap announced a Blue Lock collaboration during Sony Interactive Entertainment's State of Play stream on September 3, with a teaser previewing four characters: Yoichi Isagi, Meguru Bachira, Seishiro Nagi, and Rin Itoshi. Creative director Pierre Tarno said the community had asked for Blue Lock players since REMATCH was first unveiled, and that the studio is full of Blue Lock fans.
The collaboration began with Season 5 on September 24 and runs until October 23. Its centerpiece is Aura Striker, a 3 vs. 3 mode in which players activate an aura to temporarily boost movement speed and shot power, with the goalkeeper handled by an automatic hologram so players focus on attacking. A free event pass offers player cards, a themed VR arena, and a Blue Lock ball, and a free welcome bundle gives Blue Lock cosmetics to all players. Premium bundles for Isagi, Bachira, Nagi, and Itoshi each include a character skin, a celebration, and a player card.
Sloclap deliberately gave the Blue Lock characters no special abilities, expressing their identities through cosmetics and animations instead, which keeps the game's all-players-have-identical-stats balance intact. The game is available on PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and on Xbox and PC Game Pass. Tarno ties the game to Sifu through a shared focus on physicality, precise controls, and timing, and describes soccer as a way to pursue multiplayer and team play, where players coordinate positions and predict each other's movements.
