eFootball Thursday Update: New Events, Login Rewards and a Bigger Update on the Way
The timing is particularly interesting because Konami has already confirmed that a major eFootball update is scheduled for mid-August, giving players another reason to keep an eye on the game over the coming weeks.
For now, the latest Thursday content focuses on events, login rewards and the continuation of the game's anniversary celebrations.
eFootball Festival Enters Its Third Phase
One of the main changes this Thursday is the beginning of eFootball Festival Vol. 3.
According to Konami, the third phase began on August 6 at 02:00 UTC and will continue until August 13 at 01:59 UTC. Players can complete eligible objectives through events and the eFootball League to earn rewards.
The Festival is part of Konami's celebration of the football series' 31st anniversary, continuing the franchise's history from Winning Eleven and PES into the modern eFootball era.
New Login Rewards Are Available
Players who log in during the current Festival period can receive a special Item Selector.
The available selectors include different combinations of eFootball Coins, GP, Experience Tokens, Position Tokens, Random Skill Tokens and Booster Tokens. The available selection changes depending on the login day.
Some of the possible rewards include:
- 10 eFootball Coins
- 30 eFootball Coins
- 100,000 GP
- Experience Tokens
- Position Tokens
- Random Skill Tokens
- Random Booster Tokens
- Select Booster Tokens
The login campaign runs until August 13, 2026, so players should make sure they log in regularly during the promotion period.
A New Challenge for Players Who Prefer Offline Matches
Another addition this Thursday is the Legend: World Stage Contenders event.
The event allows players to take their Dream Team into matches against high-level AI opponents. Konami specifically lists Superstar and Legend difficulty levels for the event.
For players who prefer challenging AI matches rather than competitive PvP, this provides another way to earn rewards while testing their squads.
The Free Epic Player Campaign Continues
The bigger anniversary campaign is still running as well.
Konami's eFootball Festival campaign includes a "Choose Your Path" Campaign Hub. By playing eligible matches, users can earn Map Moves and progress through different paths.
Completing the entire map provides a Selection Contract, which can be used to choose an Epic player from the special Epic: Legends Assemble player list.
The overall campaign runs until August 13, meaning there is still time for players who have not completed it to work towards the reward.
What About the Major eFootball Update?
This is arguably the most interesting part of the current situation.
Konami's official eFootball website currently states that a "Big eFootball Update" is coming in mid-August.
That means players should distinguish between the regular Thursday content refresh and the upcoming major update.
At the moment, it would be premature to claim that specific features, gameplay changes or player packs will definitely arrive unless Konami officially confirms them.
For Gameverse67.online readers, this distinction is important: confirmed information should be separated from community speculation.
Should Players Expect a Huge Change This Thursday?
The August 6 update is primarily connected to the ongoing Festival campaign and its new events and rewards. The bigger changes appear to be reserved for the mid-August update that Konami has already teased.
Therefore, players expecting a complete transformation of eFootball this Thursday may need to wait a little longer.
What Happens Next?
The next few weeks could be particularly important for eFootball players.
The current Festival campaign continues until August 13, while Konami's official website points towards a major update arriving around the middle of August.
Until Konami publishes the complete details, players should be careful with social-media rumours claiming to reveal every upcoming feature or player.
Gameverse67.online will continue following the latest eFootball developments and will update this story when Konami reveals more information about the upcoming major update.
