PES 2021

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a full team of Messi’s went head-to-head with a full team of Ronaldo’s? That’s why you’re here, right?! And with the power of PES 2021 we’ve here been able to put these two great players to the test, with a full team of Messi clones taking on a full team of Ronaldo clones.

The tactics are set to be exactly the same for both teams, both sets of players are in absolute tip-top condition, and neither side will be allowed to make any substitutions whatsoever.

So if you’re at all curious to see how this one played out and what the final score ended up being? Definitely check out the video above and quite honestly you’ll never see it coming.

This year Konami celebrate 25 years of PES and it should be an absolute moment of celebration. It has however been confirmed that rather than being a full scale release, PES 2021 will just be a season update, with Konami stating that this is due to the sheer scale of everything that they’re looking to achieve with their next-gen debut next year.

They’re apparently confident though that this year’s game will offer fans more than enough thrills to tide them over until their next gen title is ready for launch in 2021.

PES 2021 will be available at a special anniversary price of £24.99, but is it worth picking up, even at that price? That’s what we’ll be exploring in the video above, and also looking ahead to the release of PES 2022 next year which will utilise the Unreal Engine and apparently provide significant updates both to MyClub and to Master League.

PES 2021 being a season update is definitely disappointing news, but if Konami can get things right with the extra time that they’ve given themselves to prepare for PES 2022? Next year’s game should be well worth the wait and may just be the best football game of 2021.

Time will only tell though if Konami can indeed make the most of the situation and come back bigger and better than ever for their debut release on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
