Konami has officially announced the date for the eFootball Championship 2022.
It has been a rough start to the new ear of eFootball, previously. Pro Evolution Soccer, with a disastrous launch of their new free-to-play series.
However, the most recent update was a giant stride in the right direction as they look to claw their way back to being the only major rival to Electronic Arts.
EA have also gone through an interesting period, having recently announced the end of their partnership with FIFA, and FIFA hitting back to say that the franchise will continue without the gaming giants involved.
