Lionel Messi returns as the cover star of the standard edition since his last appearance on the Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 cover, Ronaldinho will grace the cover of the legend edition.

Club partnerships

Together with this announcement it was also confirmed that a special Barcelona edition would be released. SPL returns after Konami secured a long-term partnership. Conversely, the Liverpool FC partnership is a conspicuous absentee from the 2020 edition after their Champions League victory in Madrid 2019, with EA Sports holding the Champions League license.

Game modes
Included for the first time in the PES series, there is a new game mode called Matchday Mode. Players around the world will help their team to glory one match at a time in the new Matchday mode. Konami will choose an important match or derby game each week, players will then be able to decide which team they want to represent on Matchday.

There's a lot of hype for the 2021 edition. However, there are rumors going on that says that next year's game will only be a DLC of the 2020 version. But, other sources are commenting that there's a major update coming, which will incluye cross-play. This would a major change for the franchise, since it always has been a single/multiplayer game between the same consoles.

If the rumors are true, this would put an answer to the burning question about if PES can be a cross-platform, and it would add a lot of new game modes to the previous ones.
