Konami to open dedicated PES studio in the UK

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.
