With PES 2022 there are a number of promising reasons to believe that this could end up being the greatest football game ever released.
Konami have previously spoken about the “the sheer scale of everything we are aiming to achieve for our next gen debut”, and with PES 2022 set to be the first PES game released on the new Unreal Engine; this is an extremely exciting time to be a fan of Konami’s football simulation series.
There’s also the continued development of Master League to look forward to, and it should be very interesting to see what Konami has to offer with its first football game of the brand new console generation.
So much more can be achieved now with the PS5 and Xbox Series X that was not previously possible with the last generation of consoles, and with multiple different factors working in Konami’s favour; PES 2022 could end up being a real shining example of what can now be achieved with sports games and what we should maybe expect to see from them moving forward.
Will PES 2022 be the best football game ever? That remains to be seen, but the signs are certainly strong and this feels like a real make or break year for Konami after prioritising their next-gen debut and releasing PES 2021 as a season update.
Much will be expected from Konami with PES 2022, there’s massive pressure on them to perform, but with all factors considered PES 2022 should in the very least end up being one of the best football games we’ve seen in a while.
