Xbox Gaming in South Africa

Konami has announced that the next iteration in its popular football sim franchise Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 will launch in the UK (and presumably South Africa) on 8 October.

“We have been working on this, the ultimate evolution of PES to date, for a long time,so it is great to finally let people know when they can get their hands on it,” said Jon Murphy, European PES Team Leader for Konami. “I think pretty much everyone knows that we have incorporated truly open gameplay in PES 2011, but it really has to be experienced for it to be appreciated. The Tokyo team has worked incredibly hard to create a game that is true to the series’ history, but takes it in new, exciting areas. Come October 8th, I hope that people will be lost in the game’s huge array of options and dazzled by its utterly compelling gameplay.”

Konami is promising "free-flowing and totally open football" in PES 2011, and from what we've seen so far it looks like Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka and the rest of the team may just have something special in store for fans come October.
