Ronaldinho: The studio behind the fighting game Sifu, called Sloclap, is now making a very different game. This time, it’s not about punches and kicks it’s about football. But not the regular slow football. Their new game Rematch is a 5v5 fast football arcade game that feels more like Rocket League than FIFA. It’s all about speed, tricks, and fun.
And the biggest surprise? Ronaldinho – the football legend from Brazil – is now part of the game.
Ronaldinho Is in the Game
Sloclap has confirmed that Ronaldinho will be one of the main characters in Rematch. He will not only play as a character, but also act as the game’s global ambassador.
Ronaldinho is known for his fun and stylish play. So, putting him in this kind of fun football game is a perfect fit. In the game, players will get to control Ronaldinho and enjoy his moves in a new way.
Other Big Names Also in Rematch
Ronaldinho is just the beginning. Other real football stars are also joining the game. Some names already announced are:
- Marc-André ter Stegen – the famous goalkeeper from FC Barcelona
- Kobbie Mainoo – the young rising star from Manchester United
And more real-world footballers will be added soon. This makes Rematch exciting for both football fans and arcade game lovers.
A Special Video with Ronaldinho
To make things even more interesting, Sloclap also shared a behind-the-scenes video. In that video, Ronaldinho visited the studio. He saw his 3D character model, met the developers, and even played the game as himself.
