PES 2017 Receiving Two Free Updates
October 19, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. has detailed the content of
the first two free download updates for its PES 2017 title.
KONAMI is committed to continually improving the on-field and
presentation elements of PES 2017 and will regularly offer free
updates throughout the year. The first download will be
available at the end of October, with a second to follow at the
end of November, and more to follow.
October’s 1.02 update will add a number of improved facial
likenesses to players within the game. PES 2017 is globally
recognised for its stunning player likenesses and the use of
Player ID systems to ensure the on-field stars both move and
play like their real-life counterparts. The October file will
recognise over 39 players who have excelled in the early part of
the season, and will offer photo-realistic reproductions of the
likes of Wissam Ben Yedder, Mario Lemina, Aymeric Laporte,
Victor Wanyama and Denis Suarez, and will also see their
individual playing styles recreated within the game. The 1.02
download will also update the pitch side hoardings and introduce
new official boot styles to the game, including the option of
choosing a variety of studs.
With the advent of Sony’s new PlayStationPro® format, KONAMI’s
November 1.03 update will introduce a 4K resolution mode within
PES 2017, adding greater visual definition running at 60FPS. The
1.03 update will also see the introduction of key elements
centred on KONAMI’s premier partnership teams: Liverpool and
Borussia Dortmund. KONAMI has entered into long term
partnerships with both teams and November will see extensive
additions designed to reflect the match day experience at the
English and German clubs.
Liverpool’s iconic Anfield stadium will be added to PES 2017’s
roster on in-game venues, and will also be the first to show the
club’s brand new stand within a video game. World recognised
Liverpool songs and chants, including ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’
will also be heard as the players walk on to the pitch and
during matches. Borussia Dortmund’s stunning Signal Iduna Park
ground will also be perfectly recreated for use in the game,
will both licensed teams will have squad likenesses recreated,
bringing the club stars to life.
Both the PES 2017 October and November updates will also add
more official iconography and official boot styles to the main
game, with kit additions and various bug fixes. More details
will be revealed soon.
