Brazilian heavyweights exclusive to PES 2016

The Serie A club duo of Flamengo and Corinthians will appear exclusively in PES 2016.

Whilst EA Sports' FIFA series continues to win the licensing war, Konami has shown the title's South American popularity.

IBTimes is reporting that the two Brazilian behemoths have signed to exclusively to PES 2016.

EA had announced prior to the launch of last year's installment of FIFA, that they had failed to reach an agreement with the Brazilian League to feature its domestic teams. Whilst nothing has been confirmed in this regard for FIFA 16, this latest news would suggest it is much the same.

Konami has already secured the UEFA Champions League license for its title.

PES 2016 will be released on September 17 and FIFA 16 on September 24.
