Konami has surprise-released an online performance test demo for the game that will presumably become PES 2022 – but for now is officially referred to as 'New Football Game'.
Available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PS4, the demo will be available until July 8. Detailed on an official FAQ, Konami makes clear that this is primarily a test for the game's matchmaking and servers, and that the gameplay itself remains unfinished.
IGN understands that this demo has been created in Unreal Engine – which PES will switch to for the first time this year – but Konami says that "gameplay mechanics, balancing, animations and graphics are all under development and will be improved before the official launch." IGN also understands that in-development versions of the game have already been improved beyond the state of the demo.
