EFootball

Article summary

eFootball is a 2021 association football video game developed, published, and updated annually by Konami. It is the revamped successor to the popular Pro Evolution Soccer franchise, known as Winning Eleven in Japan. Unlike its predecessor, it was designed as a free-to-play digital video game that includes microtransactions and optional additional content, with the goal of offering more features and online and offline game modes such as Master League, as well as enabling cross-platform play. This eliminates the need for annual physical releases and instead provides periodic, free content updates that introduce new seasons. The first season of the video game, titled eFootball 2022, was released on 30 September 2021. It was followed by eFootball 2023 on 25 August 2022; eFootball 2024 on 7 September 2023; eFootball 2025 on 12 September 2024; eFootball 2026 on 14 August 2025; and eFootball 2027 on 12 August 2026. This video game is part of the International Esports Federation's World Championship, the Northern and Eastern Europe League (NEEC), and the FIFAe World Cup. It was released for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 on 30 September 2021, and for Android and iOS on June 2, 2022. The Chinese version of eFootball was published by NetEase for Android and iOS in 2022.…
