It’s a big birthday celebration over at the Konami offices currently, as the studio commemorates 28 years of football gaming. They are doing so with new eFootball updates.
It started off as Goal Storm in 1995, moving to International Superstar Soccer (1997-2001), and of course the iconic PES (2001-2021). How we miss the glory of PES. Nowadays, Konami’s football iteration has been titled eFootball, since 2021. Today marks the release of tons of content coming to the free-to-play eFootball 2023, all in honour of Konami’s storied past.
The Return of an Iconic Mode
Those of you familiar with eFootball 2023’s format, instead of its competitor FIFA, will know that Konami prefer to release content periodically, with the game being overall free-to-play. It’s a model likely to be adopted by future footballing titles such as UFL – perhaps we will see it in EA Sports FC?
One of the most notable additions to eFootball this time around is the return of Co-op mode, which enjoyed a beta period throughout June. On the 13th July, the Co-op mode will receive a dedicated campaign, which will bring with it rewards when you play a certain number of games.
Campaigns and Challenges
For veteran eFootball players looking to challenge themselves, the 28 year anniversary content release will more than facilitate. This four-week celebration period will see the launch of two Challenge Events.
Firstly, the Legend Challenge Event will see you attempt to defeat the champions of different leagues around Europe. Expect to be given a tough time by the defensive Italian champions Napoli, and be left mesmerised by the tiki taka gameplay of Barcelona. Each time will provide a vastly different challenge.
For some multiplayer challenges, look no further than the Golden Goal Challenge Event. You’ll be playing against other eFootball fans in a golden goal format. And you know what that means? The first to score a single goal, wins the match. It’s fast, frantic football!
Finally, the campaigns and challenges within this event will reward you handsomely. These come with the promise of Epic Players, Show Time contracts, 200 coins, and a whopping 440,000 GP currency.
