<p>Throughout its celebrated history, Konami’s award-winning <em>Pro Evolution Soccer </em>series has consistently captivated players by providing an unmatched realistic recreation of the sport of soccer, and this year is no exception. You can finally experience the “power of football” for yourself in <em><a href="https://www.konami.com/wepes/2018/us/en-us/">Pro Evolution Soccer 2019</a></em> (<em>PES 2019</em>), which launches today in the Americas on Xbox One, and will launch globally on August 30.</p>
<p>Off the pitch, there’s been a major shift to Konami’s licensing strategy for this year’s edition, which focused on delivering exciting and fresh content to the series. As a result, <em>PES 2019</em> boasts more licenses than ever before in its franchise history. This year’s iteration continues to build on past titles and bring new experiences to players with an extended portfolio of all-new, fully licensed leagues, stadiums, partnerships and Legends, on top of its existing premier partnership with FC Barcelona.</p>
