Local matches featuring the likes of Barcelona, Juventus, Bayern, and Manchester United will be available for free at launch, Konami confirmed, alongside cross-generation matchmaking (PS5 vs PS5, and Xbox Series X and S vs Xbox One). Konami also promised to regularly add new content and game modes after eFootball launches in early August. "Motion Matching will be utilised across all eFootball platforms, including last-gen consoles, PCs and mobile." "The system provides more than four times as many animations as before, achieving highly realistic movement," Konami continued. Konami said it will share gameplay details next month, but it did mention something called "Motion Matching", which "converts the vast range of movements that players make on the pitch into a series of animations, selecting the most accurate one in real-time".

A Nintendo Switch version wasn't mentioned by Konami in its note to press this morning. EFootball launches worldwide first on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 and PC via Steam this autumn, with iOS and Android to follow soon after.
