Konami has announced that PES 2011 will hit stores on October 8 in the UK for PS3, 360 and PC.

This new iter­a­tion of the game includes a mega­ton of new addi­tions, includ­ing revamped con­trol options, new aes­thet­ics, more than 1000 new anim­a­tions includ­ing small touches such as play­ers limber­ing up, and improve­ments to the throw-in sys­tem which util­ises the power gauge sys­tem.

That’s not all though; play­ers will also bene­fit from an extens­ive num­ber of cus­tom­iz­able options that allow play­ers to cre­ate key ele­ments, such as teams, their abil­ity to string skills and feints together, play­ers and sta­di­ums via a num­ber of easy-to-use modes.

“We have been work­ing on this, the ulti­mate evol­u­tion of PES to date, for a long time, so it is great to finally let people know when they can get their hands on it,” com­men­ted Jon Murphy, European PES Team Leader for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH.

“I think pretty much every­one knows that we have incor­por­ated truly open game­play in PES 2011, but it really has to be exper­i­enced for it to be appre­ci­ated. The Tokyo team has worked incred­ibly hard to cre­ate a game that is true to the series’ his­tory, but takes it in new, excit­ing areas. Come October 8th, I hope that people will be lost in the game’s huge array of options and dazzled by its utterly com­pel­ling game­play.”

PES 2011 is out on PS3, 360 and PC on October 8, while ver­sions for the Wii, PS2 and PSP will fol­low at a later date.
