Pro Evolution Soccer 2018's World Tour is in South America. Just a few hours after unveiling the new Argentinian content, it's now the turn for the country that had the greatest football growth in recent years, Chile. In PES 2018 it's getting more licenses, legends, and the brand new trailer below.

Konami has announced a couple of premium partnership deals with important local teams. The first one is Colo-Colo, and it's exclusive, and the other one is with Universidad de Chile, a team that has been pretty successful for the last seasons. The video features a match between the two squads:

But in Europe their it is perhaps their Legends that are better known. If EA 'stole' Ronaldo Nazário from the PES-Barça alliance, now Konami hits FIFA-Real Madrid back with the exclusive signing of their big Chilean icon, Iván Zamorano. The other Chile Legend in PES 2018 for now is another striker, Marcelo Salas.

Finally, the video is still showing the official American cover for PES 2018, which of course needs to be updated; with Neymar now officially a PSG player, he'll be either removed or replaced by the yet-to-be-known third main striker of Barça. Dybala? Dembélé perhaps? Coutinho? Place your bet in the comments below, and know that we'll have much more on PES at Gamescom, before the game launches on PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, and Xbox 360 on September 14.
