The cover curse is normally a Madden thing, but this year it’s struck the Pro Evolution Soccer series before its 2017 game is even out, with Brazilian superstar Neymar’s impending blockbuster transfer to PSG causing some problems for Konami.
Overwatch features characters with body types and backgrounds that are not often seen in pop culture, let alone first person shooters.

What a difference a couple of months makes. In March, football legend Diego Maradona wanted to sue Konami for including a digital version of himself in PES 2017 without his permission. Now, in May, he’s signed on to become an ambassador for the series.
