After tying down an exclusive partnership with FC Barcelona for the 2017 edition of their game, Konami have released a new gameplay trailer centred around the Catalan giants. Yep, for those of you in the faithful PES camp, you're less than two months away from drop date.
Messi, Suarez, Neymar and Iniesta feature heavily in the new gameplay trailer, which showcases immense detail. From the life-like faces of the Barca squad to bringing to life the Camp Nou to the precise details on the brand new football boots on show. A quick turn around sees Iniesta already wearing the new Nike Magista 2 and Suarez & Messi laced up in the adidas 'Speed of Light' silos.
Konami walk you through the process of translating the actual player into that of a digital one, before Barca keep hammering Arsenal without conceding. Great stuff. Even the most die-hard of FIFA fans has to admit that closing shot of the Camp Nou is pretty special. It takes a strong willed person to switch allegiances between FIFA and PES but you generally can't go too far wrong with either these days. For what it's worth, in our book PES owned PS2, FIFA owned PS3, the PS4 generation is tighter than ever.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 is released on September 15. Pre-order it now if you're really keen.
