No mention has yet been made of M圜lub, PES' equivalent to FIFA Ultimate Team, or Master League, the series' long-running career mode – although it seems likely that the former will be represented by an unnamed 'Team Building Mode' coming after release. It will subsequently sell other modes as optional DLC, seemingly allowing players to pay for what they want out of their game. Speaking to IGN, series producer Seitaro Kimura explained that eFootball is aiming to take a 'platform' approach with regular updates – there will no longer be annual paid releases of eFootball, but the platform will get free, yearly updates for new seasons.ĮFootball will launch with exhibition matches and seemingly a selection of 9 clubs to play with (see the roadmap below for the full list).

Crucially, it appears that all versions of the game, from new-gen consoles to mobile, will be functionally the same (not unlike Fortnite) – presumably meaning that the hugely successful PES Mobile will also be phased out or replaced. *The description above may be changed in future updates.It's a major move for the football series (now called eFootball globally, rather than PES in the west and Winning Eleven in Japan), and it's been matched with a shift from Konami's FOX Engine to a custom-built new engine created with Unreal 4. *Users that reside in Belgium will not have access to loot boxes that require eFootball™ Coins as payment. Virtual currency can be used in various ways, such as signing players or unlocking Match Passes. *This game uses virtual currency, which you can purchase. *For customers who select Japan as their country/region in the game, eFootball™ Coins are valid for 180 days only. Take the reins of your favourite clubs or your ideal eleven and get ready for some frantic footballing action.
