Konami Reveals Leipzig Lineup
Didn't we just get finished with a major industry trade show? Days after E3's end and Konami has come forward to announce its lineup for the 2007 Games Convention in Leipzig Germany, kicking off August 23rd. The show will mark the first ever appearance of Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 on the PS3, which is almost guaranteed to be one of the hottest titles in Europe this year, featuring a new AI mechanic called Teamvision that adapts to your style of play to maintain a consistent level of challenging gameplay. The game will also be playable on just about everything that plays video games.
Also on hand will be Koji Igarashi to present Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles on the PSP, and Silent Hill: Origins lead William Oertel will be there to "unveil the future of the series". Spooky.
Sounds like Konami is gearing up for a really big show. We'll let you know how that turns out when Kotaku visits Germany later next month. For now, the press release calls to you.
