■ From PES become eFootball

It all started with an unwavering determination to create a revolutionary football platform.

Our ambition is to recreate the perfect football environment, from the grass on the pitch, to the movement of the players, to the spectators in the stadium.

For this purpose, we decided to create a new soccer engine with a newly built animation system and changed game commands.

The end result is even more impressive than we could have imagined.

We’re going beyond the limits of PES, into a new world of virtual football.

To mark this new era, we’ve decided to part ways with our beloved PES brand and rename it eFootball!

Now we hope you enjoy this new football experience that eFootball has to offer.

■ Free-to-Play And Cross-Platform

To ensure that all soccer fans can enjoy the best head-to-head action, eFootball is available free to play on multiple devices! Furthermore, in the near future it will become fully cross-platform, allowing everyone to join in on the fun unhindered by their device of choice. eFootball will take eSports to the next level, becoming the ultimate soccer experience!
