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.”
