Our manifesto: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in

Konami has officially renamed the popular Pro Evolution Soccer series eFootball and will now be a free to play game on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC.

According to a report by IGN sighted by YEN.com.gh, this is a major move for the football series, now called eFootball globally, rather than PES in the west and Winning Eleven in Japan.

It is reported that Konami is shifting from its FOX Engine to a custom-built new engine created with Unreal 4.

Crucially, it appears that all versions of the game, from new-gen consoles to mobile, will be functionally the same.

Seitaro Kimura, the series producer, said that eFootball is aiming to take a 'platform' approach with regular updates – there will no longer be annual paid releases of eFootball, but the platform will get free, yearly updates for new seasons.
