Konami unveils new details on PES 2009

Twisted | September 11, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 2 
Konami has revealed a few new details about Pro Evolution Soccer 09, aka PES09. There will be a new UEFA Champions League Mode, Konami announced that they had acquired rights to it. The game is releasing on the 360, PS3, and PC on on October 17th, and a Wii version next spring.
No doubt to counterattack today’s release of EA Sports’ FIFA 09 demo, Konami has brought to light several new additions to the up-and-coming Pro Evolution Soccer 09, including an exclusive UEFA Champions League mode.

In a surprising twist of events, Konami today announced that it has acquired exclusive rights to the UEFA Champions League license for the next four years which means we won’t be seeing Champions League-branded FIFA editions for quite some time. Unlike EA Sports, Konami will use the license to include a brand new gameplay mode in Pro Evolution Soccer 09, as well as future PES iterations we suppose, which will feature “all elements and attributes of the competition.”

    What a deal... shame my ps2 broke, going to have to get it on the PSP then. People do not realise though, PES has only been around since 2001, and had 14 teams with wrong names everywhere, look where they are now... pretty good, Fifas days as the licenced game is numbered
