Yes, it will be free to play but we all know that Konami will make a lot of money from MTX. It’s obvious that Konami tries to turn Pro Evolution Soccer into a GaaS, and that’s a big NO from me. To be honest, I’m a bit disappointed by this. In other words, there won’t be any exclusive next-gen gameplay mechanics (like in FIFA 22).
This could mean that the core gameplay mechanics will be similar on all devices. Konami also claims that it will add cross-play support between PC, consoles and mobile devices in Winter. So yeah, don’t expect any major graphical improvements on PC. “You can enjoy cutting-edge graphics and incomparable immersion on new-gen consoles, such as PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S.” However, it appears that the PC version will not feature any next-gen graphics like Playstation 5 or Xbox Series S|X. eFootball promises to be an all-new football simulation platform, and will be free to play on all devices.ĮFootball will be using Unreal Engine 4 and will release on current-gen and old-gen consoles, as well as PC and mobile devices. Konami has officially announced that its Pro Evolution Soccer series will be now renamed to eFootball.
