Konami Announces Exclusive Partnership with AS Roma & Releases New eFootball PES 2021 Trailer Featuring the Team
When EA announced they were not renewing their exclusive license with AS Roma, it was only a matter of time before we heard an official announcement from Konami.
Today, Konami announced their long-term exclusive partnership with AS Roma and posted a new eFootball PES 2021 trailer featuring the team in action. The AS Roma team name, crest and official kits will be fully exclusive to the eFootball PES series.
The long-time home of AS Roma, Stadio Olimpico, will also be included in eFootball PES 2021. Konami and AS Roma intend to take full advantage of their new partnership, promoting Roman football to a global audience through a variety of initiatives, including future involvement in esports projects.
“We are delighted to welcome KONAMI, world-leading company in the design and development of video games and eSports, to our family”, says Giorgio Brambilla, CRO of AS Roma. “Thanks to this agreement we will be able to implement the volume of interactive experiences and the involvement of the new innovations of the Giallorossi fans all over the world. We are already working hard with the new partner to set the activities for the coming months and to support the launch of PES 2021 with various activations. In the Club, we are sure that KONAMI will be the perfect strategic partner for the development of the activities that will involve the AS Roma eSports team, which is increasingly aimed at the public who loves football videogames”.
eFootball PES 2021 releases on September 15 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Steam). The Standard Edition will be $29.99.
