Konami is to release PES 2016's upcoming UEFA Euro 2016 DLC for free in an effort to win back the trust of fans following the blunders with last month's player transfer Data Pack, the publisher has announced.

While details on the content have yet to be revealed, all PES 2016 owners will be able to download the DLC free of charge upon its release, with a further Data Pack introducing the Maracana Stadium, new national team kits, club teams and an updated player roster set to arrive in early December.

"It has been a difficult few months for the fans in how we have been delivering content in our recent Data Packs, with some items missing that our consumers expected," said Konami's Football & Alliances Director Erik Bladinieres. "The PES Production team appreciate their fans' support and want to reward their support and bring back confidence in the Data Pack releases. With this announcement, we hope we can regain their trust."

He continued: "We strive to keep delivering quality content to our fans, for free. The content of the UEFA EURO 2016 content has yet to be defined, but all content delivered by Data Pack featuring EURO for next year's prestigious tournament will be free to all existing users."

PES 2016 launched on PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC back in September and, according to Steve, is "the best football game ever".

Konami was criticised, however, for its failure to deliver the promised player transfers in the game's first Data Pack, leading to frustration from fans upset with the game's outdated rosters.

A release window for the UEFA Euro 2016 DLC has yet to be announced.
