Confirmed: PES 2021 to Be Released as Digital 'Season Update' Only
Update: PES 2021 will be released as a content update for PES 2020, otherwise retaining the same features and gameplay. This was confirmed by a listing that appeared on the Microsoft Store last night.
Celebrate 25 years of PES with the eFootball PES 2021 Season Update* - available at a special anniversary price!
The eFootball PES 2021 Season Update features the same award winning gameplay as last year’s eFootball PES 2020 along with various team and player updates for the new season. Also comes with the UEFA EURO 2020™ mode - all at a special anniversary price!
Update: Following Australia, the South Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee has also started to list 'eFootball PES 2021 SEASON UPDATE' (via @JVC_PESForum). The applicant company, Uniana, is a publisher that works with Konami in South Korea.
PES 2021 could be released as a digital update to PES 2020 instead of a full game in an interesting twist.
As reported by gamereactor.es and altchar.com, the Australian Classification Board has published an entry for PES 2021, curiously named "eFootball PES 2020 Season Update".
This name has got the PES community worried that there will be no full-fledged PES 2021 launched but instead just a digital update that would bring the latest squads and kits to PES 2020.
It's a multiplatform release with an alternative name "PES 2021" and the listing includes the usual features like online interactivity and in-game purchases.
One possible reason for this move, should it turn out to be true, could be the coronavirus and the big influence it has on the workspace as well as companies financially. It would also give the team more time to work on the first PES entry on the new console generation, which would be PES 2022.
Stay tuned for updates as this story evolves.

The official store of the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has experienced an embarrassing glitch, as its AI-powered chatbot is reportedly advising fans to purchase counterfeit Spain national team jerseys instead of the official merchandise.
A viral post by X user @Free_y_thinker highlighted the issue, sharing a screenshot of the chatbot recommending a fake jersey as a better and cheaper alternative to the official kits. The post quickly gained massive traction with nearly a million views, prompting other users to share their own bizarre interactions with the shop.rfef.es AI, which included further recommendations for fakes, specific unauthorized sellers, and even seemingly random Python code.

FC Twente and Castore have officially unveiled the club's new home kit for the 2026-27 season. The launch follows a successful campaign that saw the team finish fourth in the Eredivisie and secure European football, with the club using the motto "We continue the line" for the new release.
The Castore FC Twente 2026-27 home shirt introduces a clean and traditional look in the club's classic red. Drawing direct inspiration from the legendary 2009-10 championship-winning season, the standout design feature is a subtle, thin vertical line pattern that runs across the entire shirt. Adding a local touch, the word 'Tukkers' is proudly incorporated into the collar, while various club-specific elements are embedded within the back numbers.
