Football Manager 2025 Cancellation Announced Across All Platforms

In a disappointing turn of events for fans of the beloved sports simulation series, Football Manager 2025 has been officially cancelled across all platforms, including its highly anticipated mobile version. This cancellation comes after multiple delays, with Sports Interactive, the game's developer, announcing the decision abruptly. The team pointed to challenges in achieving the desired technical quality as the primary reason behind this move. However, they reassured fans that their focus is now shifting towards the development of the next installment in the franchise.

The news is particularly disheartening for fans who were eagerly awaiting Football Manager 25's debut on Netflix Games for mobile devices. This move was expected to attract a new wave of players to the franchise, but with the cancellation, those plans are now uncertain for the foreseeable future.

A Step Too Far

Announcements of this nature often stir feelings of frustration among fans, especially given the timing of the cancellation, which came just as the game was slated for release in March of this year. Moreover, the absence of any updates to Football Manager 24 to bridge the gap until the next release adds to the disappointment. While it's commendable that Sports Interactive chose not to release a substandard product, the handling of the situation could have been smoother. Fans can only hope that Football Manager 26 will see a successful return, possibly including a release on Netflix Games.
