Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd has announced that its PES 2009 title will feature the UEFA Champions League following the conclusion of an exclusive 4 year licence with UEFA. The newest addition to the Pro Evolution Soccer series will be released for PLAYSTATION®3, Xbox 360 and PC-DVD on 16th October, followed by a version for Wii in 2009.
The UEFA Champions League deal will allow Konami to use all elements and attributes of the competition to create an exclusive UEFA Champions League mode within the PES game. The licence confirms Konami's commitment to extending the series' reputation as the definitive and most realistic football series available.
"The Pro Evolution Soccer series is synonymous with football being played at the highest level, which makes it perfect for hosting the best club football competition in the world," commented UEFA. "We are delighted that PES 2009 will feature the UEFA Champions League and look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Konami."
"This deal showcases our commitment to taking PES 2009 forward in terms of licences and realism," commented Kunio Neo, President for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. "The UEFA Champions League is the jewel in the club competition crown, and is just one of many innovations we have lined up for the new game. We can promise fans a number of exciting advances, which will be announced in the coming months."

Thanks for sharing the news and the screenshots. I can't wait to finally play the game. It comes out in less than 2 months, so hopefully we get a demo in soon.
By the way, what system do you plan on getting the game for? If you don't have both a PS3 or Xbox 360 to choose from, I suggest you take a look at this Stacker 2 contest going on where you can win the system of your choice. There are less than 300 entrants and all you have to do to enter is design a 6 Hour Power t-shirt (which is surprisingly easy to do online).
I hope you don't mind me giving you a heads up on the contest, Weirdyen. I work with 6 Hour Power so if you have any questions about the contest or the 6 Hour Power energy shots, just let me know. Send me an e-mail if you enter and I'll vote for your designs too. Good luck to all those who enter.
