The Asociación Nacional de Fútbol Profesional (ANFP) have agreed to bring 18 Primera División teams to Pro Evolution Soccer 2014. KONAMI has also enlisted the talents of national football announcers Fernando Solabarrieta and Patricio ("Pato") Yáñez, to call the action in each game. Some of the premier teams that will be included are Colo-Colo, Universidad de Chile, Universidad Católica, Cobreloa, and Unión Española.
The Pro Evolution Soccer series holds a wide range of soccer licenses from around the world, including Europe's premier club competition, the UEFA Champions League, and the AFC Champions League. Just last month, KONAMI also added highly-regarded AFA Primera División teams. With this newest addition of the ANFP Primera División teams, Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 aims to extend its range to further resonate with football fans around the world.
The 18 Primera División teams included in PES 2014 include:
- Antofagasta
- Audax Italiano
- Cobreloa
- Cobresal
- Colo-Colo
- Everton
- Huachipato
- Deportes Iquique
- Deportivo Ñublense
- O'Higgins
- Palestino
- Rangers
- Santiago Wanderers
- Unión Española
- Unión La Calera
- Universidad Católica
- Universidad de Chile
- Universidad de Concepción
Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 marks a new beginning for the popular series, with its new FOX engine allowing for the most comprehensive advance in the PES franchise since its inception. For years, the PES Productions Team has looked at how matches ebb and flow to develop a new approach to football. As a result, PES 2014 will use Kojima Production's renowned Fox Engine at its core. Six central tenets (M.A.S.S., TrueBall Tech, Heart, PES ID, Team Play and Core) combine to establish PES 2014 as a new benchmark in football simulations. They govern everything from the way the player receives and controls the ball, the physicality of play, and the 'feel' of match-day: the rush of euphoria or crushing lows that experiencing an important game can bring.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 will be available in North America, Central America and South America on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, beginning September 24, 2013. PES 2014 for Windows PC will be available later in the year, as well.
