PES 2019 will also have "authentic leagues" that are set to be "revealed soon."

In a "My Real Season" game mode it's also noted the International Champions Cup, a pre-season tournament, will be included, as well as a revamped transfer negotiation strategy. It's noted that gamers can include "re-sell" and "clean sheet" stipulations into player contracts.

Konami added that there will be 11 new skill moves for players to use, while each individual footballer on the game will be refined to ensure they're unique.
