Konami Digital Entertainment Inc. has
announced a September 15th / 17th release date for PES 2016, marking the 20th
anniversary edition of the hugely successful football series.
From its humble origins on PSOne, the PES series has leaped from format to
format, adding ever more realism as it evolved. This heritage has been
celebrated in PES 2016’s new tagline ‘Love The Past, Play The Future’,
highlighting the series’ recent return to core PES values in last year’s PES
2015 and focusing on the many new gameplay and presentational elements that will
further establish the series as the definitive soccer experience.
PES 2016 aims to retain its title of ‘Best Sports Game’, as voted across the
world at games shows and by major media outlets in 2014, by continuing to lead
the way in the recreation of ‘The Beautiful Game’. The series aims to go back to
its roots to create an exciting match between users, and proudly present PES
2016 to deliver quality gameplay following ‘The Pitch is Ours’ mantra. From
further integration of the industry leading Fox Engine to bring the on-pitch
action to life and the full commitment to centre the product around creating the
best gameplay experience, to the full redevelopment of Master League, every
facet of the game has been enhanced to deliver yet another outstanding product.
