Konami to Publish the Official Game of Euro 2016

Traditionally, the European Championships have always had an official game. The game has almost invariably been created by EA as part of their FIFA series of games, but this year, it will be created by Konami, who were successful in securing the rights for the tournament as an addon for Pro Evolution Soccer 2016

The game will be available as a digital download, or as a physical disc containing both the original Pro Evo game and the Euro 2016 addon. Owners fo that original game will recieve the new content absolutely free as a download, upgrading their game to an official tie-in to the football championship in France.

All eyes will be on France as Europe’s most prestigious international competition gets underway in June, and we are delighted to present the official game of the UEFA EURO 2016 tournament,” stated Erik Bladinieres, European Brand Director of Football for Konami Digital Entertainment B.V.

With such a high standard of football on show, only the PES series could truly recreate it in all its glory. Our team is committed to building a game that matches the pace, skill and excitement of the competition, and introducing its depth and entertaining gameplay to a new wave of fans. Our existing PES fans are the most enthusiastic and committed of any football title, and we are delighted to be giving them the UEFA EURO 2016 content absolutely free, while our accompanying online and myClub promotions will ensure this will be a summer of football to remember.
