6 Key Details As Pro Evolution Soccer Series Becomes EFootball
2. A Staggered Role Out With A Multi-Year Plan
No launch date has yet been confirmed for eFootball, but we do know that the game will be released in parts. New modes will be added after launch, with the same base game being used for years to come.
One of the main graphics which has been shared by Konami is a roadmap of when different additions will be made. This confirmed that only a basic game will be released at launch in early Autumn, before key modes are added later in the year. It is a bold move by Konami which risks players losing interest before the main content is added.
The developers have made it clear, though, that they plan to use eFootball as a base that can be consistently updated, such as Warzone, rather than bringing out a new game each year. It is another big change for the series, but one that is being implemented by more games and should allow for consistent updates.
