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 as the reason for cancellation. All pre-orders will receive full refunds.
The game, already subject to two delays, fell short of its ambitious goal of a significant technological upgrade. While this upfront honesty is refreshing, particularly in contrast to some other sports game franchises known for minimal updates between releases, the news is still a letdown for fans.
Adding to the disappointment, Football Manager 24 will not receive a 2025 season update. This is a considerable setback for players, especially given the history of in-game successes leading to real-world football club employment. For the coming year, only the outdated FM24 will be available.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.
