Evaluation

eFootball is a free-to-play live service soccer game from KONAMI, launched on September 29, 2021 as the successor to the long-running PES series. The store description makes clear this is a game designed to run indefinitely: it features weekly data updates reflecting real-world player transfers and match achievements, rotating special player signings (from current superstars to legends), seasonal competitive modes, stadium customization with ongoing collectible elements, and a monetized player acquisition system. These are hallmarks of a live service game that is never "done" — content is tied to the real-world soccer calendar and refreshes continuously. KONAMI has made no communication about ending service or concluding development. The game has surpassed 1 billion downloads across platforms, indicating it remains a major ongoing product for the publisher.
