It's no secret that the historically popular title Winning Eleven is a Japanese football game series that first released on the PlayStation 1 in 1992.

In the West, the series is called Pro Evolution Soccer, or simply “PES” as everyone knows it, as this name was approved for many years, so the Japanese company Konami made its sudden decision, finally changing the name to the free eFootball series that was first released in 2021.

But we can see a new return to the Winning Eleven title again, and this was confirmed by the report of the software engineer and designer of the famous mods. SiuMing_GamerHe is known for keeping himself updated on the football series.

The account shared a new tweet with many images of documents that publisher Konami has re-registered the famous Winning Eleven trademark as below.

What makes us not question the name's return again is Konami's previous rebranding of the Silent Hill horror game series after many years of neglect. However, it surprised us several months ago by announcing several new titles for the series. Are we seeing the same thing happen with the soccer game's name?

And if so, what new things can the name Winning Eleven bring to the current eFootball 2023 football game?
