An era is coming to an end; The iconic football game PES is making history

The iconic football game PES replacement game was introduced by KONAMI. The game will now continue as “eFootball”.

KONAMI, one of the leading manufacturers of the video game world, announced the newest version of the popular football game PES in a statement today. Statements made by KONAMI stated that players are waiting for a brand new experience from now on. In addition, the rumors that the game will be free, which were voiced within the scope of the allegations a while ago, officially became reality with the statements made.

The most important statement made by KONAMI about its new game was undoubtedly the name of the game. So much so that KONAMI announced in its statement that the name Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) is history. From now on, players will only see this game with the name “eFootball”. eFootball 2022 will be released next year.

eFootball 2022 will be released for all platforms in the fall

According to the statements made by KONAMI, eFootball 2022 will be released in the fall. Players will be able to access this free-to-play game on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and iOS and Android devices. In addition, all versions of the game will come with cross-platform support. In other words, while using your smartphone, another player you encounter may be at the PC.

What are the differences?

The biggest difference of eFootball 2022 from the PES games we are used to will be the game engine it uses. This year, the company started using Unreal Engine 4 instead of the FOX Engine it used in eFootball PES 2021. This means that the gaming experience will change completely. The stable version of the game will provide the best understanding of all these innovations.

According to KONAMI’s statements, eFootball 2022 will be played with 9 teams and only exhibition matches in the first place. The company will then bring brand new modes and teams to the game, acting according to the roadmap it has determined.

KONAMI’s statement on the subject is as follows:

“PES”ten “eFootball”a…

It all started with our relentless commitment to creating a revolutionary football experience. Our goal was to recreate the perfect football environment, from the grass on the pitch to the movement of the players to the fans in the stadium. With this in mind, we decided to create a new football engine with improved animation system and game controls. The result was even more impressive than we initially thought. We went beyond the limits of PES and entered a new virtual football world. To mark this new era, we’ve decided to part ways with our beloved PES brand and rename it “eFootball”! Now we hope you can enjoy this brand new football experience that eFootball has to offer.”
