Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release
Fans of the popular Football Manager series are facing disappointment as Sports Interactive has announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including the anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games. The decision, following multiple release date postponements, cites concerns about achieving the desired level of technical quality.
The developer's statement confirmed the immediate cancellation, leaving many fans frustrated, particularly given the previously announced Netflix Games mobile launch. This strategic move was expected to significantly expand the franchise's player base. The lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24 further adds to the disappointment.
A Difficult Decision
While fan frustration is understandable, especially given the late-stage cancellation and the absence of interim updates, Sports Interactive's commitment to delivering a high-quality product is commendable. The decision, though poorly timed in terms of announcement, demonstrates a dedication to maintaining the series' reputation.
The focus now shifts to Football Manager 26, with hopes that the next installment will not only meet high expectations but also revive the planned Netflix Games mobile release.
