It was never a question of "if" PES 2018 was coming, but "when." True Achievements believe they have found the answer, as they reference a store page with a release date of September 12th, 2017, which is pretty close to last year's September 13th release date, so there's at least some credence via consistency. The pages come courtesy of the Austrailian Xbox Live service but have since been taken down.
Also packed in there was a feature list for PES 2018, which includes an online co-op mode and revamped menus. Here's the feature list.
-
Gameplay Masterclass – Strategic Dribbling, Real Touch+ and new set pieces take the unrivaled gameplay to the next level
-
Presentation Overhaul – New menus and real player images
-
PES League Integration – Compete with PES League in new modes including myClub

Online Co-op – A mode dedicated to co-op play is newly added
