Konami took a risk with this new title, and the least we can say is the final product may not be as good as expected. It is a free-to-play, cross-multi-platform, soccer game developed using the Unreal Engine that emphasizes providing a more realistic, dynamic, and eSports-oriented experience.

Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News. Konami previously explained that, "The sheer scale of everything we are aiming to achieve for our next-gen debut has made it necessary to pare back our efforts in other areas of development." The PES team has also quiestly been amassing exclusive club licenses in recent year, in what seems to be a new strategy to beat FIFA at its own game. However, those who play the New Football Game demo and fill out a survey about it will earn 25,000 GP (PES' virtual currency) for use in PES 2021 Season Update's M圜lub mode.Īfter taking something of a break last year, PES will return this year as a new-gen game, with a new engine. It's a fairly bizarre launch, with Konami not publicly announcing, or even referencing, the demo online. It appears we'll see more of the upcoming game on July 21, with in-game advertising hoardings making clear there's an event to come.
Having played a match, it's very much a rough version of the final product, with everything from some player shadows to commentary missing in the current build. The demo only allows online 1v1 games, with Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Juventus, and Barcelona making up the available teams.
