EFootball 2022 price and release date on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X / S and Xbox One

Konami is set to launch eFootball, the rebranded replacement for the football-simulation video game Pro Evolution Soccer/Winning Eleven.

Last year, the game had become eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2021 and eFootball Winning Eleven 2021, and now the old names – which first appeared in 1999 and 1996, respectively – have disappeared altogether.

Konami is poised to release eFootball 2022, the new iteration of the long-running football sim hitherto known as Pro Evolution Soccer, or Winning Eleven in Japan.

The name change is not the only way in which eFootball 2022 represents a significant departure from PES/WE, as Konami has introduced a new gameplay engine, Unreal 4, and has opted to make the game available in digital format only.

eFootball release date: 30 September

Another major difference to PES/WE is that eFootball will be free to play, at least in its most basic guise. Gamers will be able to add features by purchasing extra, paid-for content.

eFootball 2022 is scheduled to be released on Thursday 30 September 2021.

The game’s initial version will only have nine teams – Arsenal, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Corinthians, Flamengo, Juventus, Manchester United, Sao Paulo and River Plate – but more are expected to arrive when eFootball’s first update lands in autumn 2021.

eFootball will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One and PC. The day after eFootball is launched, Electronic Arts is due to release the Standard Edition of FIFA 22, the latest version of the gaming market’s dominant football sim.
