Football Manager 25 is cancelled

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 an unfinished game despite two prior delays. The developers had aimed for a significant technological leap, but ultimately fell short of their ambitious goals. This candid admission is a refreshing change from the practices of some other sports game developers known for minimal updates between releases.

While the honesty is appreciated, the news is still disheartening. The statement also confirmed that Football Manager 24 will receive no updates for the new season. This is a significant setback for players, especially given the game's history of helping virtual managers secure real-world positions in football clubs. For the coming year, only the outdated FM24 will be available.

The future of the series remains uncertain, pending further announcements from Sega and Sports Interactive.
