eFootball 2022’s launch woes will continue for a bit, as publisher Konami announced on Friday that the game’s first big patch won’t release until November.
There’s no shortage of problems with eFootball 2022, from nightmarish animations to invisible player models, its reputation as the worst-reviewed game on Steam is well earned. An apology from Konami didn’t quell the fires from fans, either. Patch 0.9.1 is supposed to fix many of the game’s problems, but guess what: it got delayed from Oct. 28 to sometime in early November.
“We would like to inform all users that we have decided to delay the release of version 0.9.1 to early November,” Konami said on Twitter. “We sincerely apologize for the delay and the inconvenience caused. Our hope is that the additional time taken will allow us to ensure the experience is improved for all of our users.”

While it’s good that Konami isn’t rushing the patch, going from having a release date to an unspecified time is a little disconcerting.
“We will announce the date and details of the fixes as soon as they are confirmed,” Konami said later on Twitter. “In the meantime, we will continue to work on improving the game and look forward to working with you on eFootball 2022.“
Not sure how Konami expects the community to help, but we’ll see how it goes, I guess!
