Latest - Key dates coming up
eFootball 2022's Pre Order bundle, which was released last month, included some key dates which are now just around the corner for the new game.
The pre-order bundle's advertisement has shown that the full game is set to be released over a month after the original date, on Thursday, 11 November.
