A new European football partnership for Konami this week as they announced a deal has been made with German team FC Bayern. The partnership between both companies will provide the eFootball PES series creators access to the club's stars and legends so they may be added to the game for various levels of play. Plus, Konami will be working closely with German winger Serge Gnabry as an Official eFootball PES Ambassador, which will put him on the cover of eFootball PES 2020 and be involved in multiple upcoming activations. The team and Allianz Arena will be going through a complete 3D scan to give it that realistic feeling and bring the players to life. Here are a couple of quotes from the press release this week.
