At the moment it is unknown when the Liga BBVA MX will be available in eFootball 2022, but it is likely that in the next update of the game we will have more information about it. On related topics, the mobile version of this title has been delayed. Similarly, eFootball 2022 it was considered one of the worst games of 2021.
Editor’s note:
This is an interesting revelation. Considering the dismal performance he had eFootball 2022 last year, one would think that Konami would only be focused on improving the game, but it seems that they have also had time to land big exclusivity contracts.
