Konami has announced a series of major updates for eFootball during the eFootball CONNECT stream at the eFootball World Festival.
One highlight during the stream revealed prolific striker Sergio Agüero as a new Legend alongside returning Legend Wayne Rooney, who returns with new abilities. Users can also expect new in-game features such as “Custom Tournament” mode, “Overload” team style and new attack/defence specific formations.
Sergio Agüero makes his eFootball debut as part of the “Epic: Legends Assemble Special” as an obtainable reward during the eFootball World Festival Campaign. Possessing the “Blitz Curve and “Low Screamer” skills, users can acquire this world-class striker by logging into the game and obtain one of eleven Legends for free. Wayne Rooney also returns with two new skills, “Phenomenal Finish” and “Willpower”, alongside a +3 boost to his shooting. Users taking part in a special event will also be granted a chance to select and acquire one of the eleven legends as a reward.
Additionally, the bingo style achievement “Treasure Link” gives users logging in the opportunity to earn and share personalised rewards in either Special, Rare and Normal variants through online matches, with special rewards available to select users and eFootball World Festival attendees.
Another highlight during the stream spotlighted a significant update planned for August that featured “Custom Tournament” mode, “Overload” team style, different formations for attack and defence and Managers with two Link-Ups.
- “Custom Tournament” mode: Users will be able to host their own tournaments or join others where tournament rules and regulations can be customised in detail.
- “Overload” team style: This new team style instructs in-game players to create a compact shape on the ball side to create a numerical advantage. In attack, users can maintain stable possession whereas on defence, a compact formation allows for quicker pressing.
- Attack/Defence specific formations: Users can now set different formations for attacking and defending, allowing for more strategic and deeper team building.
- Managers with two Link-Ups: At the start of the new season, managers possessing two Link-Ups will appear.
