Konami has signed a deal with the Major League Soccer Players Association to grant rights to use all their players in upcoming football game eFootball.

The trailer, below, shows LA Galaxy’s Jonathan Dos Santos expressing his delight at the news.

As we know, PES is no more. In its place is eFootball, which launches in free-to-play, download-only form on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and Windows 10 and PC via Steam early autumn, with iOS and Android to follow soon after.
