As of today, March 15, 2025, MATCHO has not been released yet. The game is scheduled to launch on April 17, 2025, for PC (Windows, Linux) and PlayStation 5, with an Xbox Series X|S release planned for a later date.
Since the game is still in development, there have been no updates or patches released. However, the developers have shared some key features and modes that will be available at launch:
- Single-Player Campaign: A rich story-driven experience where players control Max, a 25-year-old with mysterious powers, as he and his friends confront an alien invasion that could lead to curing his illness and saving Earth. gematsu.com
- Endless Mode: A challenging mode featuring a variety of quests not linked to the main story, along with online rankings and a Zen mode for free-form play. en.wikipedia.org
- Multiplayer Arenas: Competitive modes, including Deathmatch, with plans to implement a ‘friend pass’ system allowing multiplayer access with a single game copy. playmatcho.com
The game uniquely combines first-person shooter mechanics with match-3 puzzle elements, requiring players to tag and connect enemies of the same color to eliminate them. It also features an extensive parkour system, allowing for wall-running, double-jumping, and dashing to navigate environments and chain combos.
