The development team at Konami working on Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 says that it plans to launch an entirely new World Challenge mode for the football simulation with a new International Cup, which is designed to allow gamers to reach glory in a competition modelled on the real World Cup 2014 in Brazil.

Gamers will be able to guide their national team or their favorite player from it to international glory, but the company does not have the license to use the official logos and names linked to the competition.

Konami states that, “Within the mode, players can adapt their squads in the run up to qualification, set up friendly matches to recruit new talent, and finally enter the group and knock out stages of the tournament.”

Qualifying competitions for Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia are offered.

The World Challenge mode for Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 will be launched on March 26 on Xbox Live and on April 1 on the PlayStation Network.

A new patch will be delivered on the two platforms at the same time for free and will improve the overall game experience, with a number of new anti-cheating measures designed for online matches.

International kits for PES 2014 will also get an update and there are 60 player faces included, for the likes of England's Jack Wilshere, Spain's David Silva and Gerard Pique, and Germany's Mario Götze and Marco Reus.

The Brazuca ball is also included.
