🎮 eFootball 2025 Brings Back the Classics with Retro Mode for 30th Anniversary

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the franchise, eFootball 2025 is launching a special limited-time Retro Mode, designed to evoke the charm and nostalgia of the series’ early days. Let’s dive into what this throwback event has in store for players.

👾 A Blast from the Past: Retro Visuals and Classic Vibes

Retro Mode will feature vintage-style visuals that harken back to the Winning Eleven and early PES era. While full details are still under wraps, the official preview offers a glimpse of the gameplay—and it’s dripping with nostalgia.

A showcase match between the legendary teams WE United and EFB United highlights the retro theme. The graphics have been intentionally pixelated—from the stadium design to the crowd animations—perfectly replicating the simplified look of the classic games. Even the goal nets, pitch, and game physics feel lifted straight from the past.

🕹 Online Event with Familiar Flair

Like previous limited-time content such as the Captain Tsubasa and Strike Arena events, Retro Mode is expected to be an online event. Though Konami hasn’t revealed all the mechanics yet, the structure appears to follow familiar territory.

Many fans are hoping for more retro touches, like throwback commentary and legendary player cards styled after the old games. Whether those make the final cut remains to be seen—but the visual overhaul alone is already winning over nostalgic players.

📅 When to Expect Retro Mode

The event is expected to go live around July 21, 2025, marking the official 30-year anniversary of the franchise. In past campaigns, Konami has sometimes rolled out updates a bit earlier, so fans should keep an eye out for announcements in the coming weeks.
