There's a lot of hype surrounding PES 2022, given that it'll be the first franchise entry to use Unreal Engine technology to deliver a 'next-generation football game'. KONAMI went as far as making PES 2021 a mere roster update in order to focus on this year's release.
However, the first glimpse of the work-in-progress game doesn't exactly look great. The publisher has uploaded an Online Performance Test for a title simply called 'New Football Game', though we all know it's simply PES 2022. YouTube user SiuMing has captured some gameplay footage from the PS5 version.
Granted, the developers have clearly said that this is far from the final version of PES 2022. Still, it's not the best first impression.
If you're interested in trying it out for yourself, it can be freely accessed until July 8th at midnight (UTC) on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X.
KONAMI is proud to announce that a new football experience is on its way!
To prepare for its launch, we'll be running an open beta prior to the game's official launch, as described below.The purpose of this beta test is to evaluate the quality of the online matchmaking and connection to the servers.
Please note that gameplay mechanics, balancing, animations and graphics are all under development and will be improved before the official launch.
