Jonas Lygaard, senior director for Brand and Business Development at KONAMI, said: “FC Schalke 04 are one of the most famous and successful clubs in Europe and are working hard in the domain of E-Sports. That suits KONAMI.”
Fans of the Royal Blues may look forward to a true representation of FC Schalke 04 due to the licence agreement given the Pro Evolution Soccer. KONAMI will manufacture a detailed profile of each player and gives the likes of Ralf Fährmann, Amie Hairt and Breel Embolo realistic movements on the virtual pitch. Also, the VELTINS-Arena will be recreated in game so Schalke fans can play in front of their very own Nordkurve.
