On, Konami announced their roadmap for the rest of 2022 up until 2023 for features such as Master League and the number of teams that can be used in offline mode which will all be released as paid content. Version 1.0.0 of eFootball 2022 was finally announced on 6 April 2022, with release date on 14 April 2022. Konami then launched the update 0.9.1 on 5 November, and announced that the 1.0 update release was delayed until Spring 2022. The update was delayed and the release postponed to November 2021. On 8 October 2021, Konami announced that it would release a new update with fixes for the game's issues on 28 October 2021. It was built using Unreal Engine 4 for the first time in the franchise. The game was released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on 30 September 2021.
The announcement revealed that the Pro Evolution Soccer brand had been dropped. The game will have three currencies – eFootball Coins (premium), eFootball Points (earned through gameplay) and GP (also earned through gameplay).On 21 July 2021, Konami released a six-minute video revealing the new game. It’s this mode that will make use of the Chance Deals and eFootball Coins in the pre-order bundle.Īlthough it certainly appears that players willing to spend $40 can have an early advantage, Konami claims the monetisation model will be “rebalanced to ensure that all players can reach the same potential, regardless of how they acquire in-game items”.
Manchester United is one of the nine teams available at launch Konami says the game’s first main update in mid-November will include a number of new modes, including Creative Teams, in which players build their own squad similar to FIFA’s Ultimate Team (or the m圜lub feature in previous PES games). Instead, players will only have the option to play friendly matches locally or online, with one of nine teams. When the game launches on September 30, there will be no players to claim and nowhere for players to spend their eFootball Coins. The bundle can also be purchased more than once, meaning if the now-removed description remains true, players can theoretically spend $80 on all 16 Chance Deal players. However, none of the Chance Deals or eFootball Coins can be used until “after the update scheduled for mid-November of 2021”.Ĭhance Deals let players sign one of 16 “top-tier Ambassador and partner club players”.Īccording to a description that was on the eFootball website this morning but has since been removed, each time players use a Chance Deal they get a different player from the list of 16, so they won’t get the same player more than once unless they manually choose to reset the player list.
