Konami secures UEFA Euro 2016 licence

Konami has just announced that it has acquired the official license of UEFA Euro 2016, the European Football Championship to be held in France next summer.

The publisher did make it clear that PES 2016 will not be featuring any content related to the tournament, so expect more details at a later date this year regarding how they're handling the license.

Curiously, Guy-Laurent Epstein, Marketing Director of UEFA Events, stated the following: "We look forward to their newest extension of the PES series, created specifically for UEFA EURO 2016, further engaging with football fans in Europe and around the world."

Does this mean a specific game could be in the making? It certainly sounds like it. As for PES 2016, it will be released on September 17, with a playable demo coming in August 13.
