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 companies issued an official statement announcing the cancellation and promising full refunds for all pre-orders.
The reason? The game, already subject to two delays, remains incomplete. While developers had planned a significant technological upgrade, they ultimately fell short of their ambitious goals. This candid admission is a refreshing change from the practices of some other sports game franchises known for minimal updates between releases.
This news is undeniably disappointing. The developers also confirmed that Football Manager 2024 will not receive a 2025 season update. This is a significant setback for many players, especially given the game's history of helping virtual managers secure real-world coaching positions. For the coming year, only the outdated FM24 will be available.
The future of the Football Manager franchise remains uncertain; fans await further announcements from Sega and Sports Interactive.
