eFootball 2022 Pre-order bundle costs £30 despite basic game being free

We know that eFootball 2022 is completely free to play, but what about all the added extras?

Konami has just released information on the Pre Order bundle which comes with loads of in-game bonuses, but, a new light has been shed on the release date of the full version of the game.

Pre Order bundle revealed

Konami has revealed the eFootball 2022 Premium Player Pack via their official eFootball Twitter page.

This pre-order bundle is available to purchase on PC and all consoles, including the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

The Premium Player Pack includes the following bonuses:

• Two extra Chance Deals (eight rather than six)
• 2,800 eFootball coins (in-game currency)

Pre Order bundle cost

The eFootball 2022 Premium Player Pack Pre Order bundle costs £32.99 / $45 on all consoles.

You can order the pre-order bundle by heading to your console's online store, for example, the PlayStation store.

If you order the Premium Player Pack via Pes 2021 or PES 2021 LITE, you'll receive 10% off the overall cost.

It's important to note that this bundle does NOT include the added DLCs like Master League, with the popular game mode set to be an optional extra this year and will not be included in the free to play version.

Master League coming to mobile

We now have confirmation that Master League will be made available as a mobile app this season.

This means you can now manage your team on the go whenever and wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection.

ACTUAL release date revealed

So, we all thought eFootball 2022 was arriving on Thursday, 30 September, which it is, but not quite how we thought...

Konami warned us that eFootball 2022 would be "like a Demo" at the time of its launch, with very basic game modes available to us.

Having said this, we were expecting the full game's release to follow pretty soon after.

However, the pre-order bundle's advertisement has shown that the full game is set to be released over a month after the original date, on Thursday, 11 November 2021.

On top of this, the eFootball coins will not be usable until Thursday, 18 November, which implies that MyClub may not arrive in eFootball 2022 until this date.
