PES 2014 – World Challenge DLC Announced
Football fans from across the world are in high anticipation of this year’s World Cup in Brazil, so to help fans get into the spirit of the world’s biggest and most prestigious football event, Konami has announced two DLC packs for Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 that will release later this month.
Firstly we have the World Challenge mode, which features a new International Cup (basically the World Cup tournament in disguise) and a host of other new additions. The World Challenge mode will accommodate both team and player modes and not only will it feature the main tournament, but it will also include the qualifiers for the European, African, American and Asian regions.
Below are the official details straight from Konami regarding the World Challenge mode:
The new content is available for PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360 and integrates an all-new International Cup competition into PES 2014. The mode charges the user with guiding their international team or player to glory in the International Cup competition. In ‘Team’ mode, the user governs every aspect of play, from team selection, to choosing offensive and defensive tactics. While ‘Player’ mode sees the player striving to earn selection and retain their place via their performances in a game.
The World Challenge mode runs the full gamut of a top-level competition, from qualifying rounds, through to the main tournament. Within it, players can adapt their squads in the run up to qualification, set up friendly matches to recruit new talent, and finally enter the group and knock out stages of the tournament. The mode features separate qualification competitions for European, African, American and Asian sides, with a set number from each continent allocated spaces.
The DLC features entirely new presentation and front-end elements, with options to view squad details down to the finest detail, while new AI elements see players responding to strong performances and raising their game, or suffering a crisis of confidence which can affect their playing levels. New cut scenes have been added too, presenting your final squad selection once you qualify for the International Cup following a successful regional qualification round. World Challenge mode also includes the official Brazilian national team and player likeness.
If that wasn’t enough PES 2014 DLC goodness for you, then Konami has also announced a free DLC pack, that will release on the same day as the World Challenge mode and will be installed to your game via a patch update.
The free DLC will add 9 new International kits; new boots, the official football of the Brazilian World Cup with the Brazuca and more than 60 players face updates that include the likes of Jack Wilshere, David Silva, Gerald Pique, Mario Götze and much more. The patch update will also make for a more efficient online experience by added new measures to put a stop to those that cheat at PES 2014.
