The Newest Title in KONAMI's Winning Eleven Series "Winning Eleven 2016" Begins Its Global Release on September 15!

Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. will release "Winning Eleven 2016" (overseas title "PES 2016 - Pro Evolution Soccer -") beginning on Tuesday, September 15, 2015 in North America and Latin America, followed by Thursday, September 17 in Europe and Asia, and Thursday, October 1 in Japan, on PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3. This game is the latest instalment in the highly popular Winning Eleven soccer game series, which has sold over 89.8 million copies worldwide (as of end of June 2016).

In keeping with the series'new 20th anniversary slogan, "Love the Past, Play the Future," "Winning Eleven 2016" goes back to the roots of the series while also offering improved controls for an all-new gameplay experience. This latest title uses FOX ENGINE^* to render players'actions on the pitch with heightened realism, and features graphical fidelity that makes gameplay footage look almost indistinguishable from the real thing, all of which brings the tension and excitement of each match to fever pitch. The game has already earned significant acclaim in Europe, soccer’s home territory, where it was awarded the series'second consecutive "Best Sports Game" award at gamescom 2015, Europe’s premier game show held in August of this year.

KONAMI will continue to develop and distribute the Winning Eleven series, to deliver the fun and excitement of soccer to an ever-expanding customer base.
