Big shot by Konami, that after having obtained the partnerships with Bayern Munchen and Manchester United and renewed that one with Arsenal and Barcelona, steal from EA Sports the license of Juventus - third Serie A team to have a partnership with the Japanese videogame after Inter Milan and Milan - and ensures the kits, the crest, the stadium and the club name in exclusive for the next three years. This means that at least for the next three seasons there will be no more PM Black White on PES (now renamed eFootball PES) instead of the Champions of Italy detailed at maximum and perfectly reproduced on every level, from the stadium faithfully recreated by the specialized development team of Konami to the faces of every player of the club, scanned and made similar over the possible.
Bad beating for FIFA then, that will not have one of the most followed and played teams in its roster - that will be renamed Piemonte Calcio - but especially without the first club in Serie A, of which EA has the rights in exclusive.
The deal between PES and Juventus not only offers to all the fans of the saga the club faithfully recreated but also the possibility to play with Juve's legend Pavel Nedved on the myClub mode, main game mode of the game on which PES is focusing strongly this year.
Moreover, the collaboration between the bianconeri and the Japanese videogame will see as relevant character Miralem Pjanic, PES Ambassador who will attend during the season at events organised by Konami and Juventus itself.
