GAMING NEWS

https://www.dsogaming.com/news/efootball-2022-is-now-the-worst-game-release-of-2021-update-1-0-0-has-been-delayed-until-spring-2022/
In September 2021, Konami released eFootball 2022, which quickly became one of the worst game launches of all time. On its launch day, the game had Overwhelmingly Negative Reviews on Steam. After this awful launch, Konami apologized and promised to fix the game via a major update in November 2021. However, the company has just announced that this Update has been delayed until Spring 2022.
>> That's quite a delay for an update. I feel like this update will either rework the entire game or, given how much time will have gone by, never come to light and be the base of the next game.
