Back at the start of the year, Konami announced that their eFootball franchise had reached some 700 million players. Well, you can add another 50 mil on top of that as they reach the 750 million mark – and they are celebrating the milestone with the return of an Epic Lionel Messi.
Millions upon millions
750 million downloads across all platforms is nothing to be sneezed at, but that’s where we are with Konami and their free-to-play eFootball. Having struggled initially, it’s a game that has started to find its feet, with the eFootball 2024 version up there with the best yet. Is it on PES proportions? Not quite, but hopes are high that they can continue to take it to EA SPORTS FC 24.
So, with a big milestone comes the need to celebrate. eFootball players will get to do that with Lionel Messi in tow, dropping in Epic form. Three options are available here, commemorating some of his finest ever performances. The question is, which is THE finest? Well, you get into the comments and let us know…

Is that enough? Well, according to Konami, no, and there’s a Coin Sale taking place too. Running between April 25th and June 6th, users can also enjoy a discount on eFootball coins. And then there is also going to be an in-game campaign kicking around to focus on that of FC Internazionale Milano. In place until 2nd May, the campaign will feature a special player list of ‘Highlight’ cards of FC Internazionale Milano players.
Free log-in goodies
From these, users can gain one as a free log-in present and two more via chance deals to be won from the in-game Theme Event. All regular squad players will be given a live update rating of “A” class.
