Zenit are already present in the game, but from 2020 the Gazprom Arena will be added to PES! This virtual reconstruction of our stadium will be designed by Konami artists with unbelievable accuracy.

The new game will also feature one of the heroes of Russian football, former Zenit forward Andrei Arshavin will be one of the new football legends added to the game.

The agreement signed between Zenit and Konami also includes specifics especially for the Russian market and since 2018, the entire Russian Premier Liga has been selectable in the game on exclusive terms.

“We are pleased that Zenit has chosen PES 2020 as its esports partner” said Dmitry Mankin, commercial director of the blue-white-sky blues.
