A new brand identity for a new generation of consoles and players, eFootball represents a fresh approach for the long-running franchise, previously known as Pro Evolution Soccer and Winning Eleven.

Thanks to the greatly evolved football game engine, the animation system has also been overhauled. New technology called "Motion Matching" converts the vast range of movements that players make on the pitch into a series of animations, selecting the most accurate one in real-time. The system provides more than four times as many animations as before, achieving highly realistic movement. “Motion Matching” will be utilised across all eFootball platforms, including last-gen consoles, PCs and mobile.

Ensuring that eFootball is an experience that everyone can enjoy, Konami’s new football game is free-to-play across console, PC and mobile. Importantly, eFootball will also present a fair and balanced experience for all players. More details about gameplay and online modes will be revealed in late August.

As a digital-only title, Konami will regularly add new content and game modes after launch this Autumn. Local matches featuring FC Barcelona, Juventus, FC Bayern, Manchester United and others will be available, for free, at launch. In the future, certain game modes will be sold as optional DLC, giving players the freedom to build an experience that follows their interests.

Uniting football’s global gaming community for the first time, eFootball will offer the same highly realistic esports experience across console, PC and mobile, including full cross-play support post-launch.

Konami is proud to announce that the 2024-25 season will see full exclusivity for two of Italy’s greatest football clubs: AC Milan and FC Internazionale Milano (Inter).

This will see Konami’s eFootball being the only football simulation video game to feature the branding of the two clubs, whilst also continuing their successful partnerships together, where KONAMI is also a training wear partner for both.

Initiating in July 2022, this move represents an evolution of the two partnerships, with the ‘Rossoneri’ and ‘Nerazzurri’ now joining Atalanta BC and S.S.Lazio in KONAMI’s ranks of exclusive partnerships in Italy.

With 39 Italian league titles (Inter having added their 20th this past season) and 10 European titles between them, and with both set to compete in Europe’s premiere competition in 2024-25, KONAMI is proud to be supporting Italy’s two greatest and most decorated clubs.
