E3 2016: Konami reveals first Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 trailer

Konami has officially revealed the first teaser trailer for Pro Evolution Soccer 2017, featuring gameplay between both Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.

Pro Evo has struggled over the years to cope with its successful competition, EA Sports' FIFA, however this year they're seemingly looking to take their game to the next level.

Players such as Alexis Sanchez, Petr Cech, Olivier Giroud and World Cup winner Mesut Ozil are included in the trailer for Arsenal, which you can see in the video below:

This year's title will use Konami's Team ID and Player ID to allow the game to represent player movement in the most accurate way possible, and as displayed in the trailer, the game's Real-Touch system is very much at the forefront of gameplay development.

Konami stated the following in a recent press release:

"PES 2017 is founded around the ‘Control Reality' ethos, elevating the award-winning gameplay to a new level via incredible new control elements and a new standard of visual realism, without sacrificing what made PES successful in the first place – playing a match with your friends. The industry-leading Fox Engine once again powers the series to reach new heights, with KONAMI looking to its focus on first touch, the making and receiving of passes, and AI that adapts to counter the way users play to elevate the game’s acclaimed realism."

The developer also announced that while graphics have improved since last year, so has the way that the players behave on the pitch. Along with all-new intelligence via PES' adaptive AI system, hundreds of new animations have been added to the game.

Many gamers at the E3 trade fair will be presented a better look at the game between June 14th-16th, as PES looks to close the gap between itself and its major rivals.
