Konami’s sales and profits for the first quarter (April 1 to June 30, 2024) experienced an impressive year-on-year increase, reaching record-breaking highs. Sales revenue hit 90,039 million yen (up 24.0% year-on-year) with net profit for the period totaling 19.16 million yen (up 43.3% YoY). These healthy consolidated financial results were mainly thanks to the solid performance of Konami’s Digital Entertainment business (i.e. video games and the Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG). This included a continued strong performance from eFootball 2024, thanks to in-game additions and an esports tournament.

Although focusing on Japan-exclusive releases up until July this year, Konami has many global launches lined up for 2024 and beyond- including those from beloved IPs like Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill.

Give me Master League you miserable bastards!

I tried eFootball the other day and it isn't even bad. I'd probably prefer a normal release, but it felt good to play, better than FIFA.

 

[Bernardougf]

And I thought eFootball Was dead

It is effectively already in the game in all but name, where you can play full league seasons against AI - with squad carry over - for free already in the game, and have been able to for a long time.

Game is absolute amazing as an F2P for anyone really good at ISS pro/PES that don't need to spend anything, Only weakness is it just needs a fair bit of control alterations to expose the original PES engine.

If you saying about My league, that's a completely different mode, that's different form master league.

We are still waiting for the really ML to come....

If konami fought EA harder for the domestice league licenses they could have put up a much better fight.

They need to find an investor who gives them a shit ton of money for those licenses.

I want Master League now, been waiting for ages
Is it coming?

Yes it's coming.... That's it, all that everyone knows is, is coming.

We are still waiting, and I would pay for an official master league version with full training drills, but 95% of what Master league offers for most players is covered with My league IMO. In absence of classic master league, free my league is quality IMO and I say that having finished at least 10 league seasons trying to win the league at the two top difficulty settings.

Well deserved lads, Konami gonna be owning it over the next few years.

 

[Ozzie666]

MLB big head power baseball please.

 

[Hudo]

I would like to see what Kojima Productions could do with the Metal Gear license.

One of the old school studios, gotta love 'em. Konami has ton of IP's that are ripe for a new generation. Konami IP's That said, I need to try that eFootball or their newer FIFA games. Their upcoming CYGNI looks pretty sweet

eFootball has always still been better than FIFA. The issue for some was no single player content. That didn’t bother me, as I only play My Club.

My issue was that the gameplay was worse by a long distance compared to the final PES games. The fox engine was superior to their modern engine.

They have cross play with mobile so the game is constantly being ‘balanced’ (mobile players are massively favoured). They have a pattern of striking an unbelievable balance where the gameplay is very good, but then quickly patch/re-balance the next season and it ends up completely terrible again.

 

[SirKicksalot]

19 million yen is 127.500 dollars...
They lost the Roma and Napoli licenses, which are going back to EA this year.

 

[demigod]

It’s easy to break records when you release nothing the previous years.

 

[Bojanglez]

Give me Master League you miserable bastards!

Seriously, they should just sell it as a mode your can buy, also could do with community option files

 

[PendekarRajawali]

Is the game crossplay with all platforms?

 

[DAHGAMING]

I just wish they would add the ability to play with real teams online like we used to, none of this dream team shit, I would be back then.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

incomplete piece of garbaggio.

 

[Essery81]

Just wait to to Delta and Silent hill 2 releases on their profits lol

 

[Skelterz]

E-football is poor as much as I hate EA they have the stranglehold on football games.

I really do hopy that CYGNI turns out to be good.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Soccer is the sport I hate the most, but I would buy a PES game with the fox engine.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Lord willing, sh2 remake and mgs delta shall be record breaking

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

So Konami is like THQ Nordic, who we think does things wrong, but surprises us with Profits?

 

[//DEVIL//]

I really do hopy that CYGNI turns out to be good.

Same. I really want to paly it
