The collaboration starts on September 24 and will bring Blue Lock characters into REMATCH. A teaser shown during the stream previewed four popular characters: Yoichi Isagi, Meguru Bachira, Seishiro Nagi, and Rin Itoshi. Creative director Pierre Tarno said the community had been asking for Blue Lock players since REMATCH was first unveiled, and that the studio is full of Blue Lock fans, making the crossover a happy experience. REMATCH is a 5-on-5 online soccer game with no fouls or offsides, where players control a single player from a third-person perspective. It is available on PC via Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and is included with Xbox Game Pass. The game has been played by over 6 million people since its release in June 2025. Details of the collaboration content have not yet been revealed.","whyItMatters":"The collaboration pairs a game that deliberately strips soccer down to fast, foul-free action with a franchise built on the same ego-driven, no-fouls philosophy, giving REMATCH a natural narrative hook to attract Blue Lock's large audience.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe teaser blends anime visuals with gameplay footage, per the stream capture.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe collaboration was announced during Sony\u0026#39;s State of Play, which streamed on September 3.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSloclap is a Paris-based indie studio known for \u003cem\u003eSifu\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAbsolver\u003c/em\u003e.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGame Spark\u0026#39;s prior coverage described REMATCH as \u0026#34;a superb PVP experience that condenses the best of soccer.\u0026#34;\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eREMATCH supports 3v3 and 4v4 matches alongside the 5v5 format the summary notes.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJapanese pricing runs 3,700 yen on Steam, 3,740 yen on the PS Store, and 2,900 yen on the Microsoft Store.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTarno\u0026#39;s full comment: \u0026#34;From the day we first unveiled REMATCH, the community has been asking us to bring Blue Lock players onto the pitch.
