PES 2021 Announced – Full Details!

PES 2021 has been officially announced.

Yesterday, we had confirmation that Konami were already working on a next gen PES game for 2021. We even got a classy teaser trailer that showcased that future next gen PES titles would be making the switch from FOX Engine to Unreal Engine. A move which could be game changing for the franchise. 

Along with the trailer, we also got out first official information regarding this years release; PES 2021 – which provided some great insight before today’s unveil. 

“We have made the decision to launch this year’s PES as a streamlined offering in the form of a “season update”. That being said, we are still extremely confident that this year’s game offers fans more than enough thrills to tide them over until our next gen title is ready for launch.

This year also marks a quarter of a century since the very first PES title was released. To commemorate this important milestone, and more importantly, to show our gratitude to you, our loyal fans, we are pleased to announce that this year’s PES will launch at an affordable anniversary price & will also come with several bonuses.” – KONAMI via YouTube
