When is PES 2021 released?

PES 2021 was released on September 15, 2020 - in keeping with previous launch dates - and it will be available as a downloadable 'season update'.

The early September release date is consistent with the apparent policy of launching roughly two weeks before EA Sports' FIFA series. This year, FIFA will be released on October 9, 2020, slightly later than usual.

Since the game is mainly an update, no demo will be released.

Konami released a trailer for the game on July 16, which can be watched below.
