New partnerships, commentary, stadiums, legends, trailer, and exclusive cover.
Ricardo C. Esteves Editor-in-Chief Portugal 8 August 2017

Konami continues showing great support for South-American football, now passing the ball to the Brazilian league. First off, PES 2018 will include Philippe Coutinho, Liverpool's star (perhaps future Barcelona star?), as the main man on the Brazilian cover, with the national team's jersey on. As for Vasco da Gama fans, they will be able to enjoy the benefits of an exclusive partnership that will allow the game to include the club's stadium, São Januário, kits, and players.

As for other teams from the "Brasileirão", PES 2018 will include the exclusive licenses for Sport Club Corinthians Paulista (Corinthians), and Clube de Regatas do Flamengo (Flamengo), as well as all the other teams in a non-exclusive fashion. Konami also announced Romário de Souza Faria and Socrates as two new legends for myClub mode.

Closing up the deal, Brazilian players can also enjoy Portuguese commentary from Milton Leite and Mauro Beting, both featured in the trailer below. PES 2018 will release on PC, PS4, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on September 14. Are these Brazilian inclusions the best yet?
