Update News
PES UEFA EURO 2016 DLC Releases
March 24, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. has detailed the newly
released content for its key third Data Pack for PES 2016. Made
available today, the free update adds UEFA EURO 2016 content
that features new national team licenses, tournament branding,
official tournament mode, official match ball and Stade de
France. In addition a wealth of player faces, stat upgrades and
boots create a significant update for PES 2016. Families have to
pay the Internet usage fees to download this DLC. It is not
provided on disc at this time.
KONAMI is committed to continually enhancing the PES 2016
experience and, since launch, has added hundreds of stunning
player likenesses to the game, alongside gameplay refinements
and key myClub advances. Data Pack 3 marks the most sizable
update yet.
Data Pack 3’s kit updates will bring the latest licensed designs
up to date, and includes 15 of the new kits that will premiere
during the UEFA EURO 2016 competition, including those of match
officials. Updated kits include hosts France, Germany, Italy,
Spain, Czech Republic, Turkey, Iceland, Slovakia, Ukraine,
Northern Ireland, Croatia, Albania, England, Portugal and Wales
– the latter of which features Gareth Bale, cover star for
KONAMI’s UEFA EURO 2016 content. Club kits across both Europe
and South America will also be updated, from Udinese and Empoli
in the Italian League, FC Groningen and Willem II in the Dutch
Eredivisie, La Liga’s Espanyol and Eibar sides and 10
second-tier Liga Adelante sides. The new UEFA Champions League
strips for FC Groningen, Marseilles, Sporting Lisbon, and AS
Saint-Etienne will also be recreated; while 14 South American
sides from the Brazilian and Argentinian sides will be updated,
including Flamengo, Corinthians, and Union de Sante Fe.
PES 2016 is famed for its realism in the reproduction of
players, as well as their abilities, and Data Pack 3 boasts
extensive updates to the likenesses and current ratings of its
roster. 199 new player faces have been produced to ensure almost
photo-realistic likenesses. Many of those created are set to
play pivotal parts within this summer’s UEFA EURO 2016
competition, with players from every qualified side enhanced and
updated. As such, players such as cover star Gareth Bale, Dele
Alli, Andriy Yarmolenko, İlkay Gündoğan and Juan Mata will boast
the most detailed likenesses of any football game, while Data
Pack 3 will also mirror their current form. PES 2016’s Player ID
will also boast refinements to ensure that individual players
boast the same movements and ability of their real-life
counterparts, while the Team ID system will ensure that teams
line up in their favoured formations and playing patterns.
Data Pack 3 will also add new boot and ball styles to the main
game. NIKE’s Hypervenom Phantom II and Hypervenom Phantom II NJR
styles will be included, as will PUMA’s evoSPEED SL, evoPOWER
1.3 and PARA Mexico Lite 15 HG JP designs. The official balls of
the UEFA Champions League and UEFA EURO 2016 tournaments will
also be added, further showcasing PES 2016’s exclusive use of
these key club and national team competitions.
Starting today, all additions will be automatically added to
those owning PES 2016 absolutely free*. The recently announced
kits for England, France, Croatia, Turkey and Portugal will be
released as a free DLC ahead of the UEFA EURO 2016 tournament
which begins June 10th.
