Free chance deals, new Epics, and a 50% boost to Special Daily Game progression made eFootball’s May update feel like a real pickup for players, not just another maintenance note. The headline chase cards were led by Big Time Lamine Yamal, with Kylian Mbappé and Joan García in the Spanish League Season’s Best trio, while Atep arrived as a new Epic card in the same Best of Season push.

The pack structure gave the event its immediate appeal. Martin Ødegaard headlined a 50-player Show Time box tied to Arsenal’s cup success, alongside Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, giving squad builders a clear target if they were hunting for a midfield anchor or premium wide threats. League victory campaigns also went live for the English Cup, Italian Cup, and Ligue 1 McDonald’s title celebrations, with login rewards handing out free chance deals for themed packs and POTS selections.

The grind got lighter too. KONAMI raised the Special Daily Game progression rate by 50 percent during the campaign period, which meant a scored penalty now moved players 9 steps instead of 6, while even a missed penalty still moved them 6 steps instead of 4. For anyone working through campaign ladders, that is the kind of boost that changes whether a login feels mandatory or optional.

The update also carried compensation for a recent online PvP problem. KONAMI said corrective measures were implemented on 14/05/2026, the issue was resolved, and affected users received 50,000 GP. Matches touched by the problem were not recorded in Match History, which kept the fix from turning into a hidden record-keeping headache for competitive players.

That combination is what makes the May campaign land so cleanly. eFootball remains free-to-play on iOS and Android, with Dream Team still built around active players and legends, so a drop like this matters most when it hands out real value fast. Between the free chance deals, the new cards, the faster progression, and the GP payout, KONAMI’s latest Best of Season update gave lapsed players a reason to look back in.
