Official comment from Masakazu Ishizaki , Director of “PES” Series
The “MASTER LEAGUE” system will be reborn in “eFootball PES 2020”.
In MASTER LEAGUE, there are many scenes such as not only stadiums, but also locker rooms, press conferences and club houses that make use of indirect light which Enlighten specializes.
In these very important scenes, we realized that by continuing to utilize Enlighten we could complete them in with very high visual quality.
