eFootball 2022’s Master League will launch as paid DLC in 2023, Konami say. In aTwitter thread, Konami clarified their future update plans, including the free content to come this summer and new teams to be added as paid DLC before the end of the year.

Master League is a popular mode from previous Pro Evolution Soccer games in which you can create and manage a football team in round-robin tournaments. Konami announced they would release Master Leagues as paid content for the free-to-play eFootball back in 2021, but the game has had a bumpy life since launching last year. eFootball 2022quickly became the worst rated game on Steamafter launch, which makes “we have received lots of feedback” in the tweet above quite the understatement.
In the aftermath of that rocky launch, Konamiindefinitely postponed eFootball’s DLC and refunded playerswho had pre-purchased it in order to focus on bugfixes. Since then, the game hashit 1.0 with improved ball physics and other new features added.
eFootball 2022 apparently feels better to play now as a result of those updates, but there’s still a relative paucity of commonplace features and modes within the game. These updates planned for 2023 therefore seem a long way off.
