Konami’s “Pro Evolution Soccer” (PES) video game series will change its name, the company announced on Wednesday. The competitor of “Fifa” was renamed “eFootball” and is now “free-to-play“. In other words, similarly to games like “Fortnite” or “Rocket League”, it will be possible to play for free on most platforms (consoles, smartphones and computers). New version will arrive “in the fall”.

In release, Konami claims that eFootball “is a new global brand for a global audience” and that it will only be available in digital format. In addition, the game will use Unreal Engine, one of the most popular software among video game industry producers.
Thanks to the highly evolved football game engine, the animation system has also been revised,” says Konami.
According to the company, teams like “FC Barcelona, Juventus, FC Bayern, Manchester United and others will be available, free of charge, at launch”. However, “in the future, certain game modes” will be sold separately in “DLC” format (acronyms for “Downloadable Content“, “downloadable content”, in Portuguese), advances the videogame producer.
