Konami has just announced Games Convention that the next installment of its smash hit series, Pro Evolution Soccer will be available in October.

The game has been completely revamped: player models, crowd, and uniforms all have been given a make-over.

There is also a new “Become a Legend” mode. This game type enables you to relive the career of your favourite football player. You start as a rookie and the game ends when you retire.

Sounds great.

By Mike Bowden

Konami’s put out a beast of a press release on PES 09 today, detailing a Become a Legend mode, billed as the biggest addition to the game this year.

‘Become a Legend’ solo mode… casts the user as a midfielder or striker within a match. Using a default vertical camera view, the player starts as a rookie pro at the start of their career, and charts the many highs and lows of becoming a professional player. An extension of the popular ‘Fix’ mode, the ‘Become a Legend’ mode sees the player operate in their favoured attacking position, and work as part of the overall team as opposed to controlling every member as in a normal game.

There’s tons more through the link, detailing everything new in the soccer game this time out.

PS3, 360, PS2, PC and PSP this autumn, with Wii following next spring.

According to this Winning Eleven blog post, PES 2009 will release on the US on November 12.

Apparently a “close friend” of the site got this nugget “hot off the press.” There’s been no official announcement.

No date’s been given for Europe as yet, but it’s Games Convention later this month so you might get more then.

Update: Just asked Konami about this and we were told that until it’s announced for Europe, there’ll be no comment.

As if it wasn’t going to happen. The game’s listed for Wii on Konami Japan’s site, as you can see on GoNintendo. If you recall, Wii wasn’t included as a platform in the game’s formal announcement. That’s it, really.

Not sure if these are the real deal, but they look as though they might be. CNG4U’s posted what are apparently the first screens of PES 09. They’re only menu shots, but you know what the game itself’s going to look like, right? Have a swiz.
