PES will be renamed eFootball and will be free-to-play

PES (Pro Evolution Soccer) is a competitive series for the more arcade FIFU, which last year did not bring a full-fledged part, but only a seasonal update.

However, Konami today announced a major change PES officially renames to eFootball, which is a new platform that will be available purely digital on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X / S this fall, and will arrive later as well Android and iOS versions.

Extra series switches to the free-to-play model, when it abandons paid individual parts and switches to a system of regular updates, where everything starts with the possibility of playing exhibition matches with 9 clubs, while other modes can be purchased with the help of paid DLC. There will also be a similar battle pass called Match Pass.

In addition, we will see cross-generation matches during the release, when they will also arrive cross-play gaming via PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and then mobile phones will be added in the winter.

In addition, the game is leaving the current FOX engine, when it will be use a special engine, which is created with the help of Unreal 4. In addition, this move will bring a new system of animations called Motion Matching, which is to provide four times more animations than in previous works.

However, the control will also undergo changes, when the authors focus on sprinting or defense, where new possibilities will be added.

English commentators Peter Drury and Jim Beglin should also return, and the “Option Files” option will be retained (to be added later), which offers the possibility to edit various aspects.

We will find out more in August.
