Thierry Henry, ster van de Engelse voetbalclub Arsenal en het Franse nationale elftal, zal het gezicht worden van Pro Evolution Soccer 5. Hij zal o.a. op de cover van de game te zien zijn. Henry speelt zelf ook voetbalgames:

I have been playing Pro Evolution Soccer games for over ten years now. It was great to be the face of such a realistic and engrossing football title, so I was delighted to return for the newest version. I look forward to being closely involved with the creation and promotion of what promises to be a stunning game.

Marketing Director van Konami Martin Schneider was natuurlijk zeer blij met de deal:

We have a vision of football and how it should be interpreted as a video game. This vision extends from the talented development team through to everyone involved with Pro Evolution Soccer 5 – and we are delighted that a player of Thierry Henry's calibre buys into our ideas and enthusiasm, and are extremely pleased to have him on board for a second year. Henry shares our ideas of how we can make Pro Evolution Soccer 5 an entertaining and engrossing simulation of the most popular sport in Europe, and we look forward to working closely with this football legend.
