A Celtic-themed limited edition of PES 2019 is set for release after the Scottish champions were confirmed as a partner club for the forthcoming video game.
Developer KONAMI has teamed up with the Bhoys, while integrating the full Scottish Premiership into the PES series for the first time.
All 12 top-flight clubs will appear in official kits and iconography, with Celtic's club, stars and stadium also set to be made available for download after the game's release.
Hoops fans will be able to purchase a Celtic-branded limited edition version of the game, featuring bespoke DLC and content, although only 1,000 of these will be made available.
Gordon Kaye, Head of Business Development at Celtic, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with KONAMI at such an exciting time for the PES Series. The gameplay and player detail in PES 2019 is simply stunning and we have no doubt Celtic fans will be excited at the prospect of seeing the Double Treble champions emulated in such a realistic way.“
Jonas Lygaard, Senior Director Brand & Business Development at Konami Digital Entertainment BV, added: “Celtic is a hugely successful club and we are delighted to be working closely with them.
“Our job now is to ensure Celtic’s presence is perfectly recreated within PES 2019 and we look forward to seeing the fans’ reactions when all the work being put into this is complete and we reveal everything – more updates coming soon – watch this space!”
PES 2019 will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC STEAM on 30 August.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
