If you want a football game for your Nintendo console, you might have to settle for just FIFA. Konami have confirmed that PES 2018 will not be coming to the Switch.
But that doesn’t mean we won’t see any PES games on Switch, a console that showed Konami can still actually make good games (not involving football) in the case of Super Bomberman R.
According to a report from Eurogamer, brand manager Adam Bhatti says Konami are open to working with Nintendo on a PES release at some point. The two didn’t pair up on any Wii U PES editions.
“One thing that I will say about the Switch is, we’re getting asked that quite a lot.The fact is, we’ve announced all the platforms that PES 2018 is coming to. But as I’ve been saying to a lot of people, we have a great relationship with Nintendo – we’ve obviously brought out Bomberman which has done fantastic for the Switch.
“So as a company it’s a platform that we’re looking at, for sure. So for PES it’s just – we never want to say no, we never want to close the door. Let’s see how it goes. Personally speaking, I love the machine. We think it’s definitely performed amazingly well. And we really hope that it continues to do very well.”
Are you looking forward to PES 2018? If you’re a PC player, you might be in luck – Konami swear this year’s edition won’t be an utter mess.
In other Konami news, they teased us all with the idea of a Castlevania sequel not all that long ago.
