Ahead of eFootball 2022’s 1.0 update, Konami has detailed why it launched the game in an unfavourable state and how it intends to address player feedback.
eFootball 2022’s first major update is releasing on April 14 and will bring improvements to the game, which received a very negative response when it launched into Early Access last year. Speaking to VGC, a representative from Konami discussed some of the issues.
“It’s hard to point to one deciding aspect. The incompletion of the game came as a result of multiple factors including the transition to a new football game engine, the support of next-generation consoles such as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, the change of play style to free-to-play and furthermore, we tried to deliver new eFootball 2022 for players as soon as possible.”
The representative admitted that “the game received harsh feedback about the quality,” and says that since launch Konami has prioritised improvements and corrections based on the feedback and opinions we received.”
