![]() ![]() eFootball Club Roster Free Updates Confirmed Players across all platforms will be able to play against each other by winter, with mobile cross-play support dropping later. However, there is a catch - mobile players will need to use a controller to play against console players.įor cross-generation play, PS4 players will be able to seamlessly play with PS5 players, and the same goes for Xbox gamers on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Konami has confirmed that eFootball will provide true cross-play across all platforms, including mobile. Kimura also added that the game's controls will be changed, with the right trigger now being used for sprinting, similar to FIFA. The new 'motion matching' system will apply on all version of the game, including mobile. Moving to Unreal Engine also allowed Konami to update the players' movement animations in the game, which the company says allows for four times as many animations as previous PES games. "Unreal Engine's development speed is one of the fastest among game engines, and its scalability includes both high-end and low-end – perfect for mobile and next-gen platforms." ![]() "That's why we chose Unreal Engine," said series producer Seitaro Kimura in a recent interview with IGN. It's a similar situation as Fortnite, which also uses Unreal Engine and the various versions of the game across PC, console and mobile are largely the same. One of the key reasons for the change is the scalability that Unreal Engine provides, which is key to creating a unified platform across PC, console and mobile. Konami is moving away from it's in-house Fox engine to a custom engine built with Unreal Engine 4. ![]() If Konami manage to turn eFootball around, it'll be one of the biggest comebacks in videogames, but I hope they do it.One of the biggest changes coming to the game will in the form of a new engine. Instead, eFootball released essentialy as an early access game, with few teams and modes and a roadmap for updates - plus plentiful bugs. When the series took last year off, in favour of a major new reboot, players expected big improvements regardless of the move to a free-to-play model. PES has traditionally been a premium game that releases in a relatively polished state once per year. "We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this causes our users and other stakeholders who have been looking forward to this title."ĮFootball did launch in an awful state, but at least part of players' negative response to it is because of mismanaged expectations. Unfortunately, we have concluded that more time is needed to deliver the product in the quality that will meet the expectations of our users and have decided to postpone the delivery," says the statement. "We have been working diligently towards distributing an update that will bring new content to the game, including a new mode where you can strengthen and play with an original team, as well as support for mobile devices on November 11, 2021. Another statement today on the Konami site says this update has now been delayed until spring 2022.Ĭonsequently, DLC for the free-to-play eFootball which relies upon version 1.0, called the eFootball™ 2022 Premium Player Pack, has been cancelled and any players who bought it will be automatically refunded. eFootball was always meant to launch basic and grow over time, with version 1.0 initially due November 11th. You can find the full list of patch notes on the Konami site, alongside some detail of what issues they're aware of and still working on.Īs you might have noticed, this patch is version 0.9.1.
