One feature that remains missing from eFootball 2023 is Master League, the Career Mode alternative introduced in the PES franchise.
Master League has been demanded for some time now, with players desperate to rekindle their love for Konami's more in-depth manager mode.
Konami has confirmed that Master League will arrive in eFootball in 2023, but no further updates have been provided.
From a potential release date to all the latest leaks, check below for everything you need to know about Master League's arrival in eFootball 2023.
LATEST - April Update Bears No Fruit
The wait for Master League in eFootball 2023 goes on, with the mode set to be absent once again from the next major update from Konami.
Konami confirmed that Master League would arrive in 2023, but the most recent update has no mention of the mode in its patch notes.
Unfortunately, fans will keep having to wait until Konami release more details on the arrival of this mode.
Master League Leaks
Twitter user Durandil PES has discovered some new lines of code that have provided early indications of what could feature in eFootball 2023.
The code showcases some of the proposed cut-scenes that could feature in Master League, with different members of staff set to feature.
Master League has always been well known for the implementation of cut scenes and it's looking increasingly likely that we will see these return in the eFootball 2023 version.
eFootball Master League
For those of you that aren't familiar with the mode, Master League is just like Career Mode in FIFA.
Master League offers players the chance to take the reins at their favourite club and guide them to glory, giving you full autonomy over tactics, signings and more!
While we're yet to see how Master League will look in eFootball, we're expecting much of the same from what we saw in PES instalments before the switch to the free-to-play model.
Release Date
We finally have our first piece of news regarding the arrival of Master League in eFootball, but there's some good and bad news.
Master League is confirmed to arrive in eFootball sometime in 2023, which is much better than the silence we'd have regarding the mode prior.
Right now, there's no confirmed price or release date for the Master League DLC - but we know it will drop in 2023.
Price
Konami has now confirmed that the game mode will arrive as paid DLC, a departure from the game's free-to-play model.
Of course, we're pleased to see Master League return, but we're intrigued to see how it's priced.
No price has been confirmed yet, and we will update this page as soon as we know.
Licence Refresh
Two former partners of Konami will return in eFootball 2023, with AC Milan and Inter Milan, the current holders of Italy’s top domestic league competition and cup competition respectively.
This will see the introduction to the clubs’ players, official kits, badges and the stadium that they share, the San Siro.
In an exclusive agreement, Liga BBVA MX will be implemented in the new season, bringing all 18 Mexican clubs to eFootball 2023.
Two new eFootball Player Ambassadors have also joined the roster, with Liverpool sensation Trent Alexander-Arnold and Manchester United midfield maestro Bruno Fernandes signing on.
Master League New Features
No features have been confirmed for Master League yet, with Konami keeping their cards close to their chest.
With no specific date as to when eFootball will launch Master League, and no price indicated, we're not sure just how long we'll have to wait for further news regarding the mode.
