Details from the official blurb:

“PES 2009 is the latest instalment of the award-winning Pro Evolution Soccer Series, which is known by millions of fans for its superior gameplay and incredible realism. For PES 2009, Konami is already planning a raft of extensive new additions that will further bridge the gap between PES and the real thing.

The new game has undergone a stunning graphical update to ensure its players look and move even more like their real-life counterparts.

Similarly, all-new options allow users to tailor the game to their own tastes, while new moves, innovative new control elements and key online elements will further the realism of the new game.”

The latest in the series promises a “stunning” graphical overhaul but, in truth, fans of the series are hoping for a somewhat large improvement over last year’s mess which called itself PES 2008 (we forgive you Konami!). Many long term fans were deemed to have been ‘converted’ to FIFA - this is Konami’s opportunity to win them back. The title is set to release in Autumn in Europe.
