Konami has been quiet on eFootball PES 2021, when they typically start their yearly hype train, around this time. Now we know why.
UPDATE: (7-16)Â eFootball PES 2021 releases on September 15 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Steam). The Standard Edition will be $29.99.
Club Editions for FC Barcelona, FC Bayern Munchen, Juventus, Manchester United and Arsenal will cost $34.99. Each Club Edition comes with the club’s full squad (players and manager) as well as several club-themed bonuses, including an Iconic Moment Series player, a digital kit and more.
Users that currently own eFootball PES 2020 will get a 20% discount.
If you played myClub mode in either PES 2020 or PES 2020 LITE, you will be eligible to receive the Veterans Bonus when you purchase eFootball PES 2021 Season Update. The bonuses you receive will be based on the milestones you achieved while playing PES 2020’s myClub mode, and will be available in-game when PES 2021 launches.
