Smash-hit football game Rematch was an unlikely follow-up to its developers' previous game, but the team knew it wanted to make it years ago.
Speaking to Edge, creative director Pierre Tarno said that "the decision to do Rematch happened way before Sifu was released." Sifu, for those not familiar with developer Sloclap's back catalogue, is a kung-fu action game with a unique aging system. It was a commercial success, racking up one million sales in its first month, but it was also an obvious follow-up to its predecessor, Absolver, which was a slightly more open-ended kung-fu game.
