Football Manager 25 is cancelled

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. In an official statement, they announced the cancellation of the game and confirmed full refunds for all pre-orders.

The reason cited? The game, already delayed twice, was deemed too unfinished. Developers had promised a significant technological leap, a promise they ultimately couldn't fulfill. This candid admission is refreshing, a stark contrast to some sports game franchises notorious for minimal updates between releases.

While this honesty is appreciated, the news is still undeniably disappointing. Furthermore, Football Manager 24 will not receive a 2025 season update, a significant setback for many players. This is especially true given past instances of successful in-game managers securing real-world football club positions. For the coming year, only the outdated version of the game will be available.

The future of the Football Manager franchise remains uncertain, pending further announcements.
