Since they announced that they would return, the PC launch Soccer 2024 raised all kinds of uncertainties. The game, which promised to hit the shelves next December, did not have any kind of screenshot in sight, did not show menus of any kind and the development team maintained a rather strange secrecy that did not encourage trusting too much. progress. And what happened? Well, the users are tired.
a strange development
Since the game was announced, the team of one more game He promised to carry out an open development in which he would count on the opinion of the users. The idea was to move forward with the work and share the progress so that the opinion of the users would serve to constantly polish the game, and thus obtain a result that perfectly adjusted to the demands of the fans.
They promised weekly broadcasts on Twitch where they would show the progress of the game, however, the appointments were delayed and the broadcasts were not all that were promised. The tension increased among those who paid the 25,95 euros for the reservation anticipated, and through the forums the opinion began to be created that everything was a scam.
Faced with so many unfounded accusations of fraud, we have decided to stop the pre-sale of the game and request a refund of the amount from all buyers without exception. The game is still in development. But we need to do it more peacefully and without suspicion.

The word scam may be out of place, but what was evident is that the project had promised a series of points that practically none was fulfilling.
Threatened, they decide to cancel
Seeing the panorama that was in the air, the development team of PC Fútbol 2024 has decided to return all the money from the reserves, an operation that corresponds to PC Componentes, the company that had been in charge of distributing the game.
With the returns underway, the project is once again up in the air, since according to what they dropped in a tweet from the official account, they needed the 5.000 available reserves to be exhausted for the project to come to fruition. We are actually before a Crowdfunding project?
A future with many doubts
The current situation is what it is. The game claims to continue in development, but there is no guarantee that the development team can ensure its continuity. The December date already seemed impossible to us a couple of months ago, and right now we are completely sure that the game will be delayed to 2024, if not completely canceled in the coming months.
With promises like renowned voice actors, a simulator that hasn't been seen even a sketch of, and simple screenshots that seem to have been taken from a 20-year-old simulator, PC Futbol 2024 remains an imaginary project that does not seem to have any kind of base. We'll see what finally happens.
