When will the new PES title release?
Konami announced that they are aiming to begin the beta testing for the new PES title sometime around mid-2021, so that’s almost a year later. The game is also planned for a release later that year.
However, the name of the next-gen PES title is yet to be confirmed, but if it follows the traditions like past PES titles, it should be named something like ‘eFootball PES 2022’, as it releases in 2021.
About this year’s PES update
As the devs are focused completely towards the next PES title scheduled to launch next year, Konami had to cut short their plans for this year’s PES update. This year’s PES 2021 update will arrive in the form of a “season update“, which will be similar to the various datapack updates released over the year. However, Konami also said they are bringing enough content in this year’s PES to keep fans devoted to the game until the next PES title launches.
Also, Konami announced that this year’s PES will launch at an affordable anniversary price as this marks the 25th anniversary since the game first launched. The game will also include several bonuses. Previously, Konami announced PES Veteran Bonus for PES 2020 players who upgrade to the next PES after this year’s season update.
