Sloclap, the developer of Rematch, has had significant success with over three million sales, but fans are eager for a return to martial arts games rather than sports titles.
Creative director Pierre Tarno believes that creating sequels is not innovative and prefers original experiences over safe bets like sequels to Sifu or Absolver.
Tarno reveals that Sloclap was developing Rematch alongside Sifu, but the smaller studio could only focus on one project at a time, which led to Rematch taking precedence.
While Rematch has been well-received, fans are still hoping for another martial arts game like Absolver from Sloclap, showcasing unique combat mechanics.
