Newsbrief: Konami today revealed plans to open a new production studio in the UK that will be dedicated to the
Pro Evolution Soccer franchise, as a show of its commitment to the series.
The new London-based studio will focus on
PES titles for consoles and PC, and will look to "adopt and recreate local football culture" as a move to keep the series fresh and relevant.
Konami is hoping to revitalize the
PES series as Electronic Arts' own
FIFA series has proved very popular in recent years,
especially in the UK.
