Assume a pointed pose and post a Jamaican flag emoji, because Olympic legend (and Manchester United fan) Usain Bolt is ditching his running shoes for some footy boots as he laces up ahead of a bizarre cameo appearance in PES 2018 later this year. The eight-time gold medallist and fastest human in the world will be available as a pre-order bonus for the soccer sim.
Cynics among you may argue that Konami is merely clutching at straws here as its football franchise continues to be crushed by EA’s own FIFA series, but we reckon it may as well go all out now. Why not throw Solid Snake in there? Or Pyramid Head? Or Frogger, FFS?

Wait what?
What the hell is going on??
It's probably the only way he'll get to play for his beloved Man Red.
Why?
They'll have to stick him on the front cover now Neymar's off to France
Of course he is, he's not from Manchester! :'D
I'd buy it if they put Frogger in it tbg. Great shout that.
@ApostateMage Haha, that got me.
I once read that he's good at both soccer and cricket too; and if he wasn't so dominant at sprinting then he could have pursued either of the other two sports. So this isn't as far fetched as it sounds even though he would have no shot at making a pro team these days.
Inherently stupid.
It's hardly stupid. The guy CAN play in real life and it's unique for sure. I doubt I'll ever use him but it's nice to see Konami stepping up. The game's gonna surprise a lot of folk this year.
Nothing against getting Usain Bolt into the game but Konami should have use the money to get more official jersey and stadium licenses.
I couldnt care less about Usain Bolt. Pes2018 ia gonna be a day one purchase for me. Like its always the case with all the Pes
Looking forward to Tiger Woods in PES 2019.
