/0 Comments/in /by

Konami has released a new Data Pack update for PES 2019. The patch, which is available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC now, makes a number of graphical changes and adds a bunch of player faces to the sports sim.

Among the new player faces are Radja Nainggolan, Kevin-Prince Boateng, and Ilkay Gundogan. Multiple other players–including Samuel Umtiti, Jack Grealish, Samir Handanovic, and Ethan Ampadu–have received “revised faces,” Konami says, while more still receive “minor graphical improvements.” Finally, Data Pack 5 updates “several” kits, including those of Schalke and of the Argentina and Colombia national teams.

Konami’s sports game launched in August to a positive critical reception, including a 9/10 in GameSpot’s PES 2019 review. “For as long as EA continues to develop FIFA and hold a monopoly over official licences, PES will be the scrappy underdog just hoping for a surprise upset, even when it’s fielding the likes of London Blue and PV White Red,” wrote Richard Wakeling. “The lack of licences for top-tier leagues remains a disheartening sticking point, but PES continues to make brilliant strides on the pitch, building on what was already an incredibly satisfying game of football to produce one of the greatest playing football games of all time. It might be lacking off the pitch, but put it on the field against the competition and a famous giant killing wouldn’t be all that surprising.”

Konami has continued to improve the game since launch with the release of multiple data pack updates. In addition, there’s now a free-to-play version of PES 2019.

The Division 2 is back at the top of the UK physical sales chart for the first time in three weeks. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Yoshi’s Crafted World have filled that spot for the past two weeks, respectively, but Ubisoft’s PS4, Xbox One, and PC shooter returns to No.1 for the week ending April 6.

Immediately below The Division 2 this week is FIFA 19, according to sales monitor Chart-Track, while Yoshi’s latest Switch adventure is down to No.3. Another Nintendo title, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, occupies the No.4 spot, while Sekiro drops two places to No.5.

The remainder of the chart paints a familiar picture, with only one new game in the top 40 this week. That game is Nintendo Switch’s Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission, which debuts at No.26.

The Last Of Us 2 Dev Responds To Onion Article Saying The Game Will Launch In 2019

/0 Comments/in /by

It’s been quite a while since Sony has shared any details on The Last of Us: Part II. And with Sony not coming to E3 this year, some fans are wondering when they may hear more about the long-awaited PlayStation 4 game. It’s still unknown when more details or footage may be released.

Naughty Dog community manager Arne Meyer said on Twitter that he appreciates the enthusiasm from fans, but all there is to say for now is that Naughty Dog will share more details when the studio is ready. Meyer tweeted in response to an article from the satirical website The Onion that made a joke about The Last of Us: Part II launching 2019.

Sony showcased The Last of Us: Part II during its E3 2018 briefing where Naughty Dog premiered a brutal new gameplay trailer. We haven’t seen much of the title since then.

The Last of Us: Part II is directed by Anthony Newman and Kurt Margenau, both of whom were lead game designers on Uncharted 4 and worked on the first Last of Us. The original Last of Us was directed by Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley; Druckmann has since been promoted to Vice President of Naughty Dog, while Straley has left Naughty Dog.

Druckmann has teased that “no one is safe” in The Last of Us: Part II. No release date has been announced for the PlayStation 4 game.
