Football Manager 2025 Cancelled Across All Platforms

It's a somber day for enthusiasts of the popular sports simulation game, Football Manager, as the much-anticipated 2025 edition has been canceled across all platforms, including its planned mobile release. Sports Interactive, the developer behind the franchise, had previously delayed the release, but in a surprising turn of events, they've now officially announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025. The decision was made due to challenges in reaching the desired level of technical quality. The team is now shifting their focus to the next installment in the series.

The news is particularly disappointing for fans, especially following the exciting announcement that Football Manager 25 was set to debut on Netflix Games for mobile devices. This move was expected to attract a significant number of new players to the franchise, but those plans are now on hold indefinitely.

A Step Too Far?

Understandably, the announcement has sparked frustration among many fans, particularly due to its timing. The latest release date for Football Manager 25 was set for March of this year, and there will be no updates to Football Manager 24 to help bridge the gap. While the frustration is justified, it's important to acknowledge the developer's commitment to maintaining high standards by choosing not to release a subpar product. Hopefully, when Football Manager 26 is announced, the series will make a triumphant return to Netflix Games.
