Konami made surprise release of Open Beta Demo: Things to know


While PES21 lacked any demo game it might not be same for PES22 as today Konami released its demo version related to PES22.

The demo version is titled "New Football Game" and it is a Open Beta test that is available only on PS5, PS4, Xbox series X|S, Xbox 360. Demo version will be online for a two week span between June 24,2021 and July 8, 2021.

Regarding this release, Konami has provided official statement as follows:

KONAMI is proud to announce that a new football experience is on its way! To prepare for its launch, we'll be running an open beta prior to the game's official launch, as described below. The purpose of this beta test is to evaluate the quality of the online matchmaking and connection to the servers. Please note that gameplay mechanics, balancing, animations and graphics are all under development and will be improved before the official launch. With all that out of the way, we would like to invite you to participate in this open beta, and we would greatly appreciate it if you could share with us your thoughts and feedback on your experience. 

Konami stated that beta test will serve two purposes. Firstly, it will check the ability of matchmaking and cross playability while secondly, it will allow to survey participants of demo game and identify the shortcomings which will allow developers to improve game.

This is first time, Konami has selected Unreal Engine of Epic games to develop PES game to improve features of its game. According to producer of Konami PES, Seitaro Kimura, using Unreal Engine allows its designers to complete various tasks without taking help of programmers which was earlier necessary. This is possible due to use of Blueprint. This helps in improving the speed of processing and developing this game. It also increases skills of every individual designer.

Konami has made deals with many football clubs to obtain exclusive rights for their clubs usage. Recently, Konami made agreement with Atlanta club of Serie A. These agreements with football clubs allow Konami to compete with EA games. Although, EA games have license deals with La Liga, Bundesliga and Premier League, Konami has been able to make inroads through exclusive license deals with individual teams. Juventus, Bayern Munich and Barcelona have always been flag-bearer of Konami thus allowing good visibility among gamers. Recent deal with Atlanta will help Konami further in this direction. Therefore, Atlanta will not be available in FIFA games anymore. 

In international games, PES has secured EURO 2020 however, it lost both Europa league and Champions League to FIFA. Still many leagues have signed up with Konami including French Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, Dutch Eredivisie and Scottish Premiership.
