Adam Bhatti from Konami was asked about the possibility of PES 18 coming t Switch. While he said the game will not be coming, he did have something interesting to say.
“One thing that I will say about the Switch is, we’re getting asked that quite a lot. The fact is, we’ve announced all the platforms that PES 2018 is coming to. But as I’ve been saying to a lot of people, we have a great relationship with Nintendo – we’ve obviously brought out Bomberman which has done fantastic for the Switch. So as a company it’s a platform that we’re looking at, for sure. So for PES it’s just – we never want to say no, we never want to close the door. Let’s see how it goes. Personally speaking, I love the machine. We think it’s definitely performed amazingly well. And we really hope that it continues to do very well.”
This builds on what was said previously about Konami looking into more titles to develop for Switch now that they have seen some success on that system. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more Konami games in the future.
