The game – eventually – will target consoles, PC, and mobile, but at launch the developer and publisher admits what’s on offer will basically be a demo. And it’s not just a name change: Konami has announced that eFootball is a free-to-play, “all-new football simulation platform” developed in Unreal Engine, ditching the Fox Engine it used in generations past. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the series change its name, though: back in the day, Konami called its football franchise Winning Eleven.

If you’re asking ‘where is PES 2022?’ we’ve got some bad news for you: Konami has announced that from this year onwards, its perennial sports franchise will be called eFootball.
