eFootball 2022 is here and boy has there been a lot of talk surrounding the new game!
Konami is finally getting the game into shape with some upcoming updates, so here's everything you need to know about eFootball on Unreal Engine.
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.
The image also above shows that the eFootball coins will not be usable until Thursday, 18 November, which means that MyClub will arrive on this date.
Unreal Engine 5
If it is in fact Unreal Engine 5, then that is massive news for PES players.
