Konami is reportedly considering reviving eFootball, but in a slightly different direction. A source has spoken about the game transitioning to Unreal Engine 5 soon.

eFootball used to be called PES, many believe it had great power and reputation when it was called by that surname. After that, the game changed to a new name and received paid seasonal updates every year instead of releasing a new installment.

One of the sources in TwitterHe said that he heard that the game will move to work and development on Unreal Engine 5. It is also said that the company will start working on the game from 2024. If this rumor is true, it will be the new beginning of the aforementioned football series.

You might be wondering why the company would wait until 2024 instead of next year. The reason is that Unreal Engine 5 still receives regular and ongoing updates. Recently, version 5.1 was released, which is newer and more powerful than its predecessor, as we have already mentioned in previous news.

Do you think this is what the game needs from Konami? A new graphics engine instead of getting exclusive licenses, for example, or perhaps working on adding innovative modern technologies for the first time in the series?

Remember that Konami A few weeks ago, she shared with us the announcement of the start of the second season of her current game in the series. A series of events and campaigns are planned, some of which will be launched under the title “The Football Festival”.

As part of Japanese developer Konami’s ongoing football game support plan, it was recently announced that a new competition has joined the current game under the name Coppa eFootball Italia. As it will usher in a revolution in Italian esports, seven of the most prestigious clubs from the Italian league, Serie A, have been brought in. For more details, check out the official website.
