Cristiano Ronaldo Nails Down Cover of PES 2012


Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced that it will use gamescom to announce that the world’s most expensive player, Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, is to be the face of PES 2012. The Galactico midfielder will appear on all packaging and marketing materials, with KONAMI also confirming
release dates for the forthcoming PSP, PlayStation 2 and Wii  versions of the game.
PES 2012 is scheduled to be release for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 27th, and KONAMI today announced that the PSP, PlayStation 2 and Wii versions will follow on November 8th. The publisher has also confirmed that versions for Nintendo 3DS and iOS formats are also in development, with firm dates to follow.
The announcement that Cristiano Ronaldo will be the face of PES 2012 comes as anticipation for the football title hits new heights. Press acclaim for the game has been universally positive, with the key additions of Teammate Control – wherein players can prompt runs or control two players at once – and the Active AI system that ensures teammates work to create space and make key attacking and defensive runs winning wide-ranging plaudits from the media.
