Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 (Special Editions & Differences)

This game was released on August 28, 2018 and is no longer available to pre-order. Any incentives that were offered are listed below.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 is the latest installment in Konami’s soccer simulator series. The company promises to increase the number of authentic leagues and stadiums, and is bringing a number of licenses (including exclusively the Russian Premier League), albeit relinquishing the deal with UEFA for the Champions League, Europa League, and the UEFA Super Cup to FIFA 19 of the rival franchise.

PES 2019 introduces 11 new skill traits, bringing the total up to 39 and thus increasing player uniqueness. Player individuality is the most touted feature of the upcoming game, one that Konami claims will help create “Magic Moments” on the pitch. A new stamina system means the athletes will now show clear visual signs when fatigued. Outside the pitch, there are several quality of life improvements such as improved negotiation system and budget management.
