For the first time in video game history, eFootball PES 2021 will feature two of the sports’ best players. The cover includes FC Barcelona’s Lionel Messi and Juventus’ Cristiano Ronaldo. The game also has a history of featuring emerging stars from the sport to be on the cover as well. Their other two cover athletes are Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford and FC Bayern’s Alphonso Davies.
Messi is making his sixth cover appearance for the game as Konami celebrates the 25th anniversary of the video game franchise. Ronaldo was brought on the cover due to being named an official eFootball PES ambassador. Rashford and Davies were also named as ambassadors to the game as well. All four will also be featured on the new Club Editions of the game. Each Club Edition includes one iconic moment series player, full myClub squad, and other features.
