The PES Productions team based in Tokyo has been developing a new approach to football for four years and can now confirm that their new system uses Kojima Productions' renowned Fox Engine at its core. The team has extended and enhanced Fox Engine to match the bespoke and complex demands of a football title.

Based on six founding standards, the new system has allowed every aspect of PES 2014 to be totally reworked, freeing it from previous limitations and enabling the PES Productions team to produce a game much closer to their vision of recreating the excitement and variety of a top-level match. The central theme of fluidity is based on the constant movement of players and switching positions, which characterizes the modern approach to football. PES Productions has examined how matches ebb and flow, with player individuality being key to a team's success, and well-drilled tactics helping underdogs achieve giant-killing feats.

Working from the ground up, PES Productions has strived to rework every element of play, creating a fresh and energetic new standard for football titles. In addition to noticeably improved graphics and seamless animation, the thrust of the new system's power has been used to redefine the way football is played on a home system. Gone are the limitations imposed by outdated animation systems and AI elements; instead, PES 2014 boasts a central core that perfectly mimics the skill and awareness that elevates the world's greatest players above their peers.

PES 2014 will also mark the first appearance of the recently signed Asia Champions League, adding a wealth of officially licensed clubs to the competition. The new game will also exclusively retain its use of the UEFA Champions League club competition, with other tournaments expected to be announced shortly.
