PES 2015 Available Now

 

 

El Segundo, CA, November 11, in the year of our Lord 2014 – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today released its Pro Evolution Soccer 2015 title for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, available now in North and South America. The new installment in the annual series is released on the back of huge critical acclaim and a host of international awards.

PES 2015 boasts German international Mario Götze as its pack star in a move that reflects the focus on all-round performance in the game. “PES 2015 is the most realistic football title there is,” said the Bayern Munich striker. “It truly reflects the way games ebb and flow, and I am delighted to be working with KONAMI on such an exciting project.”

‘The pitch is ours’ is the ethos that dominates PES 2015. Through the combined efforts of the Tokyo and Windsor, UK-based PES Productions team, the aim has been to recreate the drama and tension associated with a vital match. PES 2015 marks a concerted return to core PES values of total control, utterly responsive controls and unrestricted gameplay, where the user has complete control over how they play. Every pass, shot or run is finely balanced to give maximum player satisfaction within PES 2015’s on-field action.

By looking at key facets of modern football, the PES Productions Team has completely reworked how the game performs all over the field. The shooting and goal-keeping mechanics benefit from a new system that allows precise aim and control over a shot’s power and also unlimited shot styles. Similarly, the goal-keepers intuitively close angles and are capable of a variety of ways to react to any situation. Passing, and the final ball to the front line, has also been expanded, allowing for little knock-ons and powerful daisy-cutter passes that use new physics routines to ensure the ball realistically behaves as it would. Close control also steps up a gear, with the player governing both the positioning of a player, but with greater options of how to dribble into space or beat your marker.

Central to the new game’s realism is PES ID, a system that ensures that all the world’s greatest players both look and behave like their real-life counterparts. Teams are automatically set-up to play as they would in real life, while a weekly update download will reflect the current form of players on an ongoing basis. PES 2015 is also supported by all-new presentation elements which include a specially created menu system that remembers the player’s preferred options and makes them instantly available. Likewise, a new training mode takes the player through the incredible array of moves and skills the game contains, while a licensed soundtrack featuring artists such as Cold War Kids and Morning Parade has also been included.

There are also many more ways to enjoy PES 2015’s incredible on-field action, with online and offline play bolstered with an incredible array of leagues, competitions and ways to play. The game’s ‘myClub’ mode offers an exhaustive overhaul of the eternally popular Master League, with the attitudes of players being included, dealings with agents, and a wealth of other factors affecting the player’s preparation and development of their side. KONAMI has also implemented a new play feature called ‘Role Control’ wherein three players can divide the defensive, midfield and attacking roles between them for more structured multi-player action for a new competitive slant to the game. Online play is also slick and easier to use, with simpler ranking games, new Online Divisions with relegation and promotions, dedicated 11-vs-11 lobbies and all-new cheat measures in place.

PES 2015’s license roster has also been improved, introducing second-tier teams for the first time, with Spanish Liga Adelante represented in its entirety, as is the French Ligue 2. The team rosters have also been extended to English and Italian second-tier teams, albeit not in licensed form but with real players. These supplement the full Dutch Eredivisie, French Ligue 1, Spanish La Liga and Italian top-flight leagues, which are long-standing PES inclusions. The cream of European club sides are also licensed, and include pack star Mario Götze’s Bayern Munich; Portuguese giants FC Porto, Benfica and Sporting SP; and the likes of Anderlecht, Manchester United, Zenit St Petersburg, CSKA Moscow and Galatasaray.

This compliments the existing exclusive licenses, headlined by UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Super Cup. The Copa Libertadores and Asian Champions League return, with new additions Copa Sudamericana and Recopa Sudamericana adding to the top club competitions only playable in PES 2015.

KONAMI has also prepared a day one download for PES 2015, which will ensure that 93 new kits will appear authentically in the game, while eight (8) more licensed teams have been added including Sparta Praha, FK Partisan, and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Additionally, the Brazil league will have six of its teams (Santos, Internacional, Vasco da Gama, Vitoria, Criciuma, and Chapecoense) updated to include an additional 109 of the athlete’s real names. An additional digital download will be available in December that will add 11 of the athlete’s real names to the roster for Flamengo; the December update will also include yet more teams in other leagues and bolster the stadia roster for the current generation of gaming systems. The day one download will reflect all transfers and loans, and new boots from Puma and Nike will be added. Continuing KONAMI’s dedication to ensure the stars resemble and act like their real life counterparts, the day one update will include over 80 player feature updates as well.

PES 2015 is available now for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and the Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft for an SRP $59.99, and for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft for an SRP of $39.99. The PC (digital download version) will be available from November 13 for an SRP of $39.99, coinciding with the global Steam launch of the game.
