Sega's Unexpected Announcement: No Football Manager 2025
Sega and Sports Interactive have delivered surprising news to fans of the Football Manager series: there will be no new installment for the 2025 season. The decision, announced in an official statement, cites the game's unfinished state after two prior delays. The developers had aimed for a significant technological leap, a goal they've apparently been unable to achieve within the planned timeframe. This candid admission is refreshing, a stark contrast to some sports game franchises known for minimal updates between releases.
While the honesty is appreciated, the cancellation is still a letdown. Furthermore, Football Manager 24 will not receive a 2025 season update. This is particularly disheartening for players, given the game's history of influencing real-world football careers. For the coming year, only the outdated version of the game will be accessible.
The future of the Football Manager series remains uncertain, pending further announcements from Sega and Sports Interactive.
