First PES 2009 screens and info

Will be released this autumn on Xbox 360, PS3, PC, PS2 and PSP.

Konami has today announced the autumn release of PES 2009, the latest instalment in the multi-million selling football game series.

Konami is planning an extensive set of new additions said to bridge the gap between the game and the real thing. We're told the game has undergone a "stunning graphical update" to ensure players look and move even more like their real-life counterparts.

All new options will allow players to tailor the game to their own tastes, while new moves, new controls and online elements promise to enhance the realism.

"The announcement of a new PES game is always a highlight for Konami, but PES 2009 looks set to reaffirm the series' utter superiority," commented Jon Murphy, PES Project Leader for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "We are committed to extending the realism of the new game with a wealth of key gameplay additions, and will produce a football title that truly embodies all the skill and pace that is good about the modern game."

PES 2009 will be released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC-DVD, PlayStation 2, and PSP this Autumn.
