As Konami looks to grow its UK presence with the likes of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and the revitalised PES series, it was essential we had a distribution partner capable of providing an unrivalled level of service,” said Konami’s senior channel manager for Northern Europe Reece Cummings.

CentreSoft ticked all these boxes – and more – and we look forward to workingclosely with them on these titles and many more in the future.”

CentreSoft commercial director Margaret Pearson added: I am delighted that we are able to further cement on our excellent relationship with Konami.
