Despite losing the Champions League license, the PES series is not completely without a chance on the pitch this year, as Konami can confirm seven more leagues today.
These fully licensed leagues are just one part of what PES 2019 has to offer this year, as two more leagues will be revealed at a later date. This once again underlines Konami's clear strategy of steadily increasing the number of licenses for PES.
The following seven new leagues have been confirmed for PES 2019 so far:
- Danish Super League
- Primeira Liga from Portugal
- Pro League from Belgium
- Swiss Super League
- Ladbrokes Premiership from Scotland
- Argentine Primera División
- The Russian Premier League
All teams within the leagues will therefore be fully licensed and included in PES 2019. A particular highlight is PES 2019's exclusive rights to the Russian Premier League. This makes it the only football game on the market where fans have access to the entire league, featuring top clubs like CSKA Moscow, Zenit St. Petersburg, and Spartak Moscow.
“The announcement of seven new official leagues for PES 2019 is a clear sign that we want to give fans more of what they want – more licensed content,” commented Jonas Lygaard, Senior Director for Brand and Business Development at KONAMI. “We are more confident than ever in the direction the franchise is currently heading and will continue to head in the future. We remain convinced of ‘The Power of Football’ and PES 2019 will be our most powerful game yet, with more licensed leagues and clubs than ever before.”
PES 2019 will be released on August 30, 2018.
