UEFA EURO 2016 is set to be released in April
Konami Digital Entertainment has announced that it will release its official game of the UEFA EURO 2016 tournament as a physical and digital standalone edition on the 21st of April for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Existing PES 2016 users on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC will receive the dedicated UEFA EURO 2016 content as a free DLC on the 24th of March.
This year’s competition takes place in France and will see 24 teams gather for initial group matches before progressing to knock-out stages. Qualified teams from all over Europe will compete for the coveted Henri Delaunay Cup, with the first game played on June 10th, and the final taking place in France’s stunning Stade de France a month later on July 10th. During this time, 50 matches will be played, showcasing Europe’s greatest football talent.
Konami’s official UEFA EURO 2016 title will be added to PES 2016’s main menu screen and instantly visible on loading the game. The UEFA EURO 2016 mode will feature full iconography and presentation elements from this year’s tournament, and also includes the Stade de France stadium, which hosts the final in July. From the 24 qualified teams that feature real players with hundreds of authentic player faces, 15 fully licensed teams will be included with the latest strips for England, Wales, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Iceland, Turkey, Albania, Northern Ireland and hosts France, all perfectly recreated.
In addition to the central single-player mode, Konami will also support the UEFA EURO 2016 content with a series of top-level promotions. The Official PES League will be running online competitions during the duration of the competition, while a series of very special myClub promotions are also planned. myClub is a phenomenally popular option within PES 2016, that allows users to use accrued points or in-game micro-transactions to build a title-winning side and lead them to glory. Running alongside the tournament, Konami will release a series of special myClub incentives, including new Euro Special Agents that allow key players that are performing well in the competition to be recruited for use within myClub. Those purchasing the physical copy of the UEFA EURO 2016 title will also receive exclusive myClub rewards, including access to a special Ambassador Agent, seven special Euro agents giving them seven players representing the 24 qualified teams, and 10,000GP each week for 10 weeks.
