Today, Konami announced that it has become an official partner of the Arsenal Football Club. The team, which appears as a licensed club in PES 2017, allows for Konami to feature the club’s official insignia in future games, including PES 2018. As such, the team’s squad and its stadium – Emirates Stadium – will be recreated to full detail in PES 2018.

“Our working relationship with KONAMI to date has been extremely successful from a licensing perspective and we are delighted to extend this and welcome them as an official partner,” said Vinai Venkatesham, Chief Commercial Officer at Arsenal. “We look forward to getting started in the next phase of our relationship with KONAMI and creating some fun and exciting content that both Arsenal and wider football fans will enjoy.”
“We are determined to work with the very best clubs football has to offer and are delighted to partner with Arsenal,” commented Jonas Lygaard, Senior Director – Brand & Business Development for Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. “The relationship we formed last year has gone from strength to strength, most notably when Emirates Stadium played host to the PES LEAGUE World Final. As such, we were keen to work even closer with such a highly regarded club and the new agreement will allow us to perfectly recreate and feature Emirates Stadium, and the club’s many stars, within PES 2018.”
PES 2018 is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
