Germany's Bundesliga continues to be missing though France's Ligue 1 is fully licensed.

The Serie A Italian League is better off as always, with all 20 clubs except Juventus available in PES 2019. Thanks to that, there are seven new licensed leagues in PES 2019 from Belgium, Russia, Scotland, and Turkey, among others.Īt the same time, the biggest leagues remain nearly devoid of licenses, except for Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League English League, and Barcelona in La Liga the Spanish League. And in its hour of need, PES 2019 – the latest iteration now out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One previous-gen consoles PS3 and Xbox 360 have been left behind for the first time in over a decade – doubled down on the charm offensive of lesser-known leagues. The UEFA licenses were one of the few things Konami’s PES could boast of in a gaming market that places a high value on playing with official kits in official stadiums under official branding. Naturally, its big-moneyed rival EA Sports took advantage of the opportunity, adding the Champions League to its crown of jewels in the upcoming FIFA 19, out later in September.

Back in April, its football sim Pro Evolution Soccer was dealt another blow, after Konami opted not to renew its deal with UEFA, a partnership that had been around since 2008. Konami's focus on mobile gaming, in addition to its other interests such as pachinko machines and casinos in Japan, seems to have hurt the console ambitions of every franchise it owns in recent years.
