eFootball PES developer and publisher Konami are the best selling third-party publisher in Japan in 2020. Konami managed to overtake Square Enix and Bandai Namco who finished the year in second and third place, respectively.

Following the tradition, Konami have once again released a free-to-play version of their football simulation PES. Named PES Lite, it brings complete access to myClub mode and a couple of other modes. Sadly, there is no true next-gen version.

Konami released data pack 3.0 for eFootball PES 2021, bringing along 85 updated faces as well as seven classic players for myClub campaigns.

Konami have announced that the highly-anticipated Data Pack 2.0 update for PES 2021 Season Update is available now for download on PS4, Xbox One and Steam.

eFootball PES 2021 Season Update can be vastly improved on PlayStation 4 by installing a custom option file that fixes all the fake team names, kits and emblems. Here's a step by step guide on how to install it.

eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer 2020 was a real beauty on current-gen, and we had tons of fun playing it, but we now look into the future and wonder what Konami will do with Unreal Engine 5, after deciding to skip this year's release.

In an interview with Eurogamer, Lennart Bobzien, the European brand manager for PES, talked about a number of things related to the upcoming season update title - PES 2021.

Konami have rolled out the official reveal trailer for eFootball PES 2021, setting the date for September 15, 2020, and recreating some truly iconic footballing moments.

As was rumoured at the beginning of June 2020, Konami will indeed skip development and publishing of eFootball PES 2021, and replace it with a content pack for PES 2020.
