Konami has announced new DLC content for PES 2014, with a new World Cup mode set to be released for the game on March 26th 2014 for both PS3 and Xbox 360 that will be priced at £7.99.
With the ability either manage a full team or take on the role of one player in a quest to impress, the new World Challenge mode will allow players to progress from the qualifying rounds right through to the main tournament, with separate qualification competitions for European, African, American and Asian sides, with a set number from each continent allocated spaces. Friendly games can be arranged in the road to the World Cup, so if playing the game in manager mode this will provide you with an opportunity to assess the talent in the national pool and make up your mind with regards to squad selection for the main event.
The Brazilian team has been officially licensed, and a free patch will be released on the same day as the DLC is released featuring a number of kits, the new Adidas Brazuca ball, and more than 60 player face updates and additions, with lifelike representations of the likes of England’s Jack Wilshere, Spain’s David Silva and Gerard Pique, and Germany’s Mario Götze and Marco Reus.

My Chemical Romance will release their greatest hits album ‘May Death Never Stop You‘ next week, complete with several previously unreleased demo tracks and the last track that the band ever recorded together in the studio, ‘Fake Your Death‘. Whilst on the face of it the title of the track may seem like the band are trying to send a message that they’re not really gone, it’s also equally plausible that this truly is the last track that My Chemical Romance will ever record together in the studio, but that it’s still an apt title as they’ll still live on in the hearts and memories of their fans and all those that they reached out to and inspired throughout their career.
With its simple yet beautiful piano introduction, the sombre tone for ‘Fake Your Death‘ is set, and the opening lyrical line “Some people watch, some people pray, but even lights can fade away” further enhances the sense of sadness that encapsulates the track. There’s a genuine pain in Gerard Way’s voice as he repeats the line “Just look at all that pain”, a heartfelt ache that can be heard in a lot of Gerard Way’s vocals yet that feels all the more poignant here given the track’s significance. ‘Fake Your Death‘ feels every bit the goodbye that it is, a pure and heartfelt offering from a band that will seemingly never record together again, one final musical moment for fans to feast their ears upon and savour. It’s not one of the band’s more lively offerings, but then it wouldn’t really feel right if it was; ‘Fake Your Death‘ feels like a track that could be played at a funeral, and given that it’s one that marks the death of My Chemical Romance it is therefore very appropriate that this is the case.
If ‘Fake Your Death‘ is to be the last ever track that My Chemical Romance record together in the studio then it can definitely be seen as a powerfully emotional one for them to bow out on. Some fans may have hoped for something slightly more lively with the band’s final effort, something with a little more grit and perhaps not so melancholy, ‘Fake Your Death‘ is certainly an impressive single from My Chemical Romance though, a good track for them to go out on that feels suitably sombre to mark the final chapter in the My Chemical Romance story.
