Exclusives. Exclusives. Exclusives. EVERYWHERE.
Juventus alongside Konami Digital Entertainment B.V. has announced, today, a long-term and exclusive partnership.
The new and exciting partnership with Konami will see the eFootball PES series have exclusive use of Juventus intellectual property within console football video games, including the team name, the crest, and official kits. In addition, the development team has been granted in-depth access to the players themselves, via full-body 3D scan, in order to recreate their likeliness in the game as accurately as possible.
What this means that Juventus cannot be a part of FIFA 20 this year.
Shortly after PES 2020’s announcement, EA Sports released a statement on the changes that this deal has on their game. In FIFA 20, “Piemonte Calcio will be a new playable team in FIFA 20 with a custom badge and kit throughout Kick-Off, Career Mode, and EA SPORTS VOLTA Football,” replacing Juventus.
The announcement was made through Juventus Twitter and through their website. That suggests that the club will be exclusive to Konami’s game for the next three seasons at least, which is big news for PES and FIFA fans.
We are delighted to reveal our brand new EXCLUSIVE Partnership with #eFootballPES2020 and @officialpes!
