The publisher will be showing the new version of its famous football-simulation for the first time on a next generation format, and Konami will back up this landmark premiere with further titles for existing and forthcoming formats.

“This year, Leipzig is not only an European meeting point for gamers and traders, but also the starting point for one of the most exciting transitions in console gaming ever,” commented Martin Schneider, Sales and Marketing Director Germany for Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “We are looking forward to presenting some famous guests who will personally present their games to the audience.”

One of the key guests will be the legendary Shingo ‘Seabass’ Takatsuka, the head of Konami´s Pro Evolution Soccer, who will be presenting the new version to expectant crowds. Brazilian striker Adriano signed for the cover of Pro Evolution Soccer 6, which will hit stores in autumn on PS2, PSP, PC and for the the first time ever on Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS.

In addition to Pro Evolution Soccer 6, visitors to the show will be given an exclusive look at some of publisher’s highlights for next generation consoles at the Konami booth. Further details on Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH´s program at the Games Convention in Hall 5, Booth F02 and on the titles presented will be announced shortly.
