Konami recently announced that the “Pro Evolution Soccer 2019” or “PES 2019” game demo would be going live next month. Making it even more exciting, Konami also confirmed that the several game modes could be accessed in the game demo.
There will be a total of three game modes included in the free “PES 2019” game demo. These include the online Quick Match, as well as the Exhibition Match and the Co-op gaming, both of which do not require an internet connection.
Like most game demos, the one for “PES 2019” will still leave out much content for the full version release. However, there is quite a substantial amount of material Konami announced for the free demo.
Aside from the three game modes, “PES 2019” fans can also access two stadiums, namely the Camp Nou and the Veltins Arena. These real-life soccer event venues are located in Barcelona, Spain, and Gelsenkirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, respectively.
Meanwhile, Konami also confirmed that they are making 10 soccer clubs accessible in the “PES 2019” demo. Players can try the game and choose from the following teams: FC Barcelona, Liverpool FC, FC Schalke 04, Inter, AC Milan, AS Monaco, C.R. Flamengo, Sao Paulo FC, SE Palmeiras, Colo Colo, France, and Argentina.
All these are playable for free in the “PES 2019” demo. Expect the pre-release to go live on Wednesday, Aug. 8.
Konami first announced the release of “PES 2019” in early May. In the previous installments of this video game franchise, fans criticized Konami for securing few licenses from real-life soccer clubs, so real players and teams can be featured in the game.
Luckily, the video game company has addressed that. From the time “PES 2019” was announced through today, Konami announced several new licensing agreements, expanding the available soccer clubs to choose from in the game.
“KONAMI has listened to the fans and has put their changes and suggestions at the forefront of what makes PES 2019 the best addition to the franchise yet,” Konami’s brand and business development chief Jonas Lygaard said in a statement. “Our number one desire is to give the fans more of what they want and delivering it sooner than ever before.”
“PES 2019” will be officially released on Aug. 30.
