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 cited? The game, already subject to two delays, remains unfinished. While developers had planned a significant technological leap for this iteration, they ultimately couldn't meet their ambitious goals. This transparency is a refreshing change compared to the often-lackluster updates seen in other sports game franchises.
However, this news is still a letdown for fans. The developers also confirmed that Football Manager 24 will not receive a 2025 season update, a significant setback considering the game's history of influencing real-world football careers. For the coming year, only the outdated FM24 will be available.
The future of the Football Manager franchise remains uncertain, pending further announcements from Sega and Sports Interactive.
