Konami of Europe is to release a version of its best-selling Pro Evolution Soccer for mobile phones. The game will be available from March 2006, and will be released via both the publisher's new Konami Net download service and all major download services in Europe.

Provisionally entitled Pro Evolution Soccer Mobile, the game will feature AI from Pro Evolution Soccer 5 and will be played within a 2D play area. It will be a single-player game, with further gameplay details to be announced in the coming months. The game will be available across European territories with WAP access to Konami Net, the publisher's download portal, while a list of providers and compatible handsets is still to be confirmed.

Konami's mobile content already features conversions of popular franchises such as Castlevania, Frogger and Silent Scope for mobile users to download, with more titles and game-related wallpapers and audio files to follow. Konami plans to extend its Mobile Games business to over 46 independent European territories, and will also be responsible for the Middle East, Africa and Oceania, with Pro Evolution Soccer Mobile a key addition to its range.

"Pro Evolution Soccer is one of Konami of Europe's most recognized and successful titles," said Kunio Neo, President of Konami of Europe. "We intend to bring it to mobile users in a form that will do justice to such a well-loved franchise, and see Pro Evolution Soccer Mobile as a key title as we look to extend awareness of Konami's mobile content."
