UEFA EURO 2016 DLC coming to PES 2016

Konami has announced it will release the official game of the UEFA EURO 2016 tournament as a standalone game on April 21 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

Fans that already own PES 2016 on any platform will receive the dedicated UEFA EURO 2016 content as a free DLC on March 24.

Konami secured the official UEFA EURO 2016 license last year. This year’s competition takes place in France and will see 24 teams gather for initial group matches before progressing to knock-out stages. During this time, 50 matches will be played, showcasing Europe’s greatest soccer talent.

The official UEFA EURO 2016 title will be added to PES 2016’s main menu screen. The disc-based release (Europe only) will contain both the full PES 2016 game and UEFA EURO 2016 content. The UEFA EURO 2016 mode will feature full iconography and presentation elements from this year’s tournament, and also includes the Stade de France stadium, which hosts the final in July. From the 24 qualified teams, 15 fully licensed teams will be included with the latest strips. All squads will also be in line with those of the qualifying nations.

Konami will also support the UEFA EURO 2016 content with a series of top-level promotions. The Official PES League will be running online competitions during the competition, while a series of special myClub promotions are also planned. Running alongside the tournament, KONAMI will release a series of special myClub incentives, including new Euro Special Agents that allow key players that are performing well in the competition to be recruited for use within myClub.

PES 2016 was released last Fall on PC, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3, and PS4.
