The new game strives to create a realistic yet exciting match between players, and delivers quality gameplay as expected from the acclaimed PES series.

PES 2016 will be available for PlayStation®4, PlayStation®3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC on Sept. 15.

Good news. Also, is this basically confirmation that the FIFA 16 rumors were true? They have all but two clubs licensed and back in the game.

Absolutely nothing is confirmed for FIFA. It really looks certain that they will fail to re-add the Brazil league or have all the teams from Argentina. Doesn't look like they will add a single new team outside of promoted teams. Not impressed at all by EA this year.

J-league is only available in Winning Eleven (asian version of PES).

It's a small victory for PES, but at least it's something. Would be nice if they could add some Brazilian specific stadiums/presentation to go with this.
