Konami Launches Dedicated PES Productions Studio in London

Konami has plans to expand the development of Pro Evolution Soccer or PES with the launch of a new studio in the UK.

The publisher is seeking new talent to fill positions at the PES Productions satellite studio, which will be based in London. 

“Konami has reaffirmed its commitment to its Pro Evolution Soccer series with a large-scale commitment that will see a dedicated European wing of the Tokyo-based PES Productions team established within Europe,” reads the press release.

“The new satellite office will strive to adopt and recreate local football culture that will ensure the long-running series is kept fresh and exciting. Work is already underway to recruit key talent for the new studio, and Konami will be inviting interested parties to apply for posts at this year’s Games Developer Conference Europe (GDC Europe), which will be held in Cologne between August 13-14.”

The new studio will be expected to produce games for next-generation consoles and PCs. 

“These are hugely exciting times for the PES series,” said Shinji Hirano, the President of Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH. “We are looking for a number of creative people who can help us elevate PES to whole new levels.”

The studio will be recruiting talent at the upcoming GDC Europe, so be sure to book your tickets to the event if you'd like to see them in person.
