Konami Says Efootball S Initial Launch Will Be Basically A Demo

Last month, Konami revealed that Pro Evolution Soccer will be going through a few changes, including a new title: eFootball. The free-to-play game will launch in the early fall, with more features being added in the following weeks and months. When the game debuts, there won’t be a lot for players to do, offering just local matches with teams like FC Barcelona, Juventus, FC Bayern, and Manchester United, as well as online matchmaking between console generations. In a new Q&A session shared to Twitter, Konami revealed that this initial launch period will be “basically a demo,” giving players an idea of what to expect from the full game.

Q: Is “Early Autumn” launch basically a demo?

A: In many ways, yes. We want people to get hands-on with eFootball™ as soon as possible, so we will launch with a limited number of teams and modes. Exact details to follow.
