PlayStation posted the Rematch x Blue Lock launch trailer on September 24, 2026, confirming the crossover is live in Sloclap’s soccer game Rematch. This Rematch Blue Lock trailer shows Yoichi Isagi, Rin Itoshi, Meguru Bachira and Seishiro Nagi all getting in-game skins, plus a new limited-time 3v3 mode called Aura Striker — two weeks ahead of Blue Lock Season 3’s October 9 premiere on Crunchyroll.

What The Rematch x Blue Lock Crossover Actually Is
Rematch is Sloclap’s stylized, skill-based soccer game, now in its fifth season and, as of September 25, 2026, the 21st title added to Xbox Game Pass’s entry-level Essential tier since the start of the year. This crossover isn’t a cameo skin or two — it’s a full event built around Blue Lock’s four biggest strikers, each with a premium cosmetic bundle (skin, goal celebration, player card) plus a free event pass with more Blue Lock cosmetics, a themed ball, and a VR arena.

Isagi And Rin Get The Full Character-Card Treatment
The trailer stops the action twice to give named strikers their own manga-style reveal card: Yoichi Isagi’s card spells out his name in kanji over a stark purple background, and Rin Itoshi gets an identical beat moments later, caught mid-kick in his red uniform. Both read straight out of Blue Lock’s own key art rather than a generic “new skin” popup, which is the trailer’s clearest sell to anyone who already knows the manga.
Isagi’s Eyes Do The Thing
One close-up shows a striker’s eyes flaring bright green with particle effects streaming off them — the exact visual shorthand the Blue Lock anime uses whenever a character’s “Ego” awakens mid-match. Lifting that specific shot instead of just slapping a character model into the game is the trailer’s best evidence that this crossover was built by people who’ve actually watched the show, not just licensed the name.
Aura Striker Is A New Mode, Not Just A Skin Pack
The trailer frames Aura Striker as a limited-time 3v3 mode, not simply a coat of Blue Lock paint on the existing game. Players build up an Aura gauge during a match that temporarily boosts movement speed, shot power and stamina, with each player’s aura effect showing up visually as part of their cosmetic loadout — so the crossover changes how a match plays, not just how it looks.
The Timing Isn’t An Accident
The trailer ends on a blunt “REMATCH BLUE LOCK — OUT NOW” card, and the date matters: this lands exactly two weeks before Blue Lock Season 3 (subtitled Neo Egoist League) premieres on Crunchyroll on October 9, 2026. A crossover event that quietly outlives a single weekend gives the game a built-in reason to pull the anime’s audience back in right as the new season starts airing.
What The Trailer Doesn’t Show
Meguru Bachira and Seishiro Nagi are confirmed as part of the crossover in PlayStation and Sloclap’s own materials, but neither gets a clean, nameable close-up in this cut the way Isagi and Rin do — the trailer leans on its two most recognizable strikers and moves fast past the rest. It also doesn’t break down what’s in the free event pass versus what’s locked behind the premium bundles, or show the VR arena in any detail beyond mentioning it exists.
