Our yearly wait for PES is now over as PES2020 hits the store today for PS4, Xbox One, and PC! PES with its competitive rival FIFA has been in a tough and consecutive fight with each other to stand as the best football game for gamers to enjoy. This year seems pretty bring for PES as they won Best Sports Game of the Game Critics Awards on E3 2019.
KONAMI also announced their newly partnered clubs Juventus FC, FC Barcelona, Arsenal FC, FC Bayern München and Manchester United. This means that their kit, crest and stadium will be featured exclusively in eFootball PES 2020.
More about their Juventus Partnership can be found here.
Other than clubs, KONAMI has 2 legendary footballers joining their roster in order to further more improve their game. Andrés Iniesta, a crazily strong midfielder that helped both Spain and FC Barcelona dominate the leagues. Ronaldinho, the man with a fleet footwork that creates a very unique style of football. With these 2 legendary members now in KONAMI’s hands, we can only expect them to push their team harder. With Ronaldinho to help them improvise their animations and techniques available within the game; Iniesta to help making a better immersion and come up with more authenticity within their KONAMI’s eFootball IP.
