In the microsoft digital store the yet unannounced has appeared eFootball PES 2021 from Konami. Yes, it does in the form of an update for the current eFootball PES 2020, which could be an interesting commercial bet on the part of the Japanese company for the end of the present generation.
The store collects the theme “eFootball PES 2021 SEASON UPDATE”, which seems to suggest that there will not be a new annual delivery, but an update (for a fee) with the data for the new season 2021 and a size of about 100MB, according to the information available on the tab.
The store description defines the product as follows: “eFootball PES 2021 Season Update retains the award-winning gameplay of eFootball PES 2020, accompanied by the update to the new season of various teams and players. It also includes the UEFA EURO 2020 mode, all at a special anniversary price! “
Of course, he also warns that “Due to the impact of COVID-19, the rules of certain leagues and / or real world football tournaments they could suddenly change. So there is a chance that the rules in the game may not exactly match the equivalents in real life. Other changes affecting leagues and / or tournaments may also be implemented without notice in future updates. “
We are expressly told that “This product is an updated edition of eFootball PES 2020 (which was released in September 2019) containing the latest player data and club squads. Updating of templates for some leagues will be done after launch. “
With all this, it seems that Konami has chosen to update templates and data, Perhaps with the intention of moving to concentrate on the 2022 edition that -we can assume- to bet on the not yet released PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
We need to know if, Despite everything, there will be a physical edition that reaches the stores for those who do not buy digitally, And if this update will be sold only as additional content for the current game or if it will be available as a separate purchase to facilitate access to users who would not buy the previous installment of the series.
