The eFootball franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and what better way to do that than to introduce The King, Pelé? The Brazilian icon is one of the most prolific goal scorers of all time and has an enviable trophy case.
Pele is on the Mount Rushmore of sports figures, and his importance to football is immeasurable, as The King put a smile on millions of fans across the globe and kick-started the golden age of football.
The King of Football now sits on the eFootball Throne
Pele has been added to eFootball as "Epic: Pelé", with his card having a special design inspired by the franchise's 30th anniversary. The Brazilian legend card is also the first in the game with two unique new skills, Phenomenal Finish and Phenomenal Pass.
The King is joining other legends of the game, such as Ferenc Puskás and Johan Cruyff, who left their mark on the football world as players and coaches, with their impact on the beautiful game still being felt today.
Pele's addition to the game is part of the eFootball franchise's 30th anniversary celebration, more specifically, their commemorative Nostalgia Campaign. This campaign has introduced plenty of exciting events, legendary players such as Adriano and Roberto Baggio, as well as plenty of special rewards.
The campaign offers many ways for you to upgrade your dream team, and while other legends can make your team significantly better, The King can take it to a new level.
This is the biggest thing that has happened in eFootball in a very long time. While other legends have been added to the game previously, none have the significance and importance that Pele has.
If you are an eFootball fan, this is a fantastic moment, and you should enjoy it. Hopefully, Konami has more tricks up its sleeve for the remainder of the 30th anniversary celebration.
