PES 2013 SA release date kicks-in

Konami have announced that Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 will arrive on South African store shelves on 26 September 2012 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Pre-order incentives include a limited UEFA Champions League steelbook edition which features a DLC code to redeem the Historic UEFA Champions League Match Balls used in the competition and other official elements.

PES 2012 was a strong step-up for Konami’s football series, and PES 2013 is placing an emphasis on individual skill of the world’s most talented footballers, with greater control over the ball, as players will feature the trademark abilities of their real-life counterparts.

The new features include PES FullControl (PES FC) which allows for greater freedom of movement, dynamic first touches and full manual shooting and passing, giving players the precision to control the height and strength of every shot or assist to a team-mate.

A strong focus has also been placed on player individuality and AI, resulting in a much smoother and authentic game of football.
