eFootball PES 2020 Launches
eFootball PES 2020, the latest installment of the popular football simulator series from Konami, launches today on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The title receives very good reviews from the players on Metacritic.
September came, so it's time for the release the new installments of the great football series. Traditionally, Pro Evolution Soccer from Konami goes first. Today is the release day of eFootball PES 2020. The game is available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
As the title suggests, this year's installment of Pro Evolution Soccer is focused primarily on e-sports. But it is not the only element that is supposed to attract potential players. Konami has applied for licenses from several recognizable stadiums (including Wembley, Allianz Arena, Old Trafford and Stadio Olimpico), leagues (such as Italian Serie A and French Ligue 1) and teams, such as Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Juventus FC. It is worth to remind, that as a result of a special agreement the team will not be present under its official name in FIFA 20. Instead, Piemonte Calcio will appear in the game from Electonic, Arts. Moreover, in the second quarter of next year, eFootball PES 2020 will feature free DLCs related to the UEFA Euro 2020 tournament. More details about the tournament can be found here.
