eFootball 2022: Version 1.0.0 keeps its release date

At the end of the year, at the beginning of October to be precise, we were able to discover Konami's new vision for eFootball, franchise formerly known as Pro Evolution Soccer (PES). Now free-to-play, we should normally have enjoyed game modes and full content in the weeks following its launch. However, given the many issues (technical, gameplay, etc.), the Japanese company had chosen to postpone version 1.0.0 to this spring, completely abandoning eFootball 2022.

eFootball 1.0.0 version 2022 date

After long months of work by the development teams, Konami has announced that version 1.0.0 of eFootball 2022 will land this Thursday, April 14, more than six months after the release of the game. On the content side, we do not yet know what we will be entitled to precisely, but the Dream Team mode, previously called "Creative Team", which will allow players to build their own team, will be part of the game. More details will be given this April 14, the day of its release.

We are pleased to announce that the update (version 1.0.0) for eFootball™ 2022 will be released on 14th April 2022.

— eFootball (@play_eFootball) April 6, 2022 Konami also advises that further updates will be released thereafter, to ensure a healthy experience. Hopefully it's not too late, given that the football season is already well underway, and even FIFA 22 has lost some of its community. 

In any case, this test will serve Konami, which at the time had the objective of releasing a major update each year, rather than marketing a new game.
