Football Manager 2025 Cancellation Announced Across All Platforms

It's a disappointing day for fans of the beloved sports simulator Football Manager as the eagerly awaited 2025 edition has been canceled across all platforms, including the anticipated mobile release. Sports Interactive, the game's developer, had previously delayed the release, but in a surprising turn of events, they have now officially canceled Football Manager 2025. The team pointed to challenges in reaching the desired technical quality as the reason behind this decision. They assured fans, however, that their full attention is now on the development of the next installment in the franchise.

This cancellation is particularly disheartening for fans, especially following the earlier announcement that Football Manager 25 was set to launch on Netflix Games for mobile devices. This move was expected to attract a new wave of players to the franchise, but those plans are now on hold indefinitely.

A Step Too Far

Announcements like these often lead to frustration among fans, particularly when the cancellation comes so late in the development cycle. The last scheduled release date was in March of this year, and there will be no updates to Football Manager 24 to bridge the gap. While the frustration is understandable, it's important to recognize the developer's commitment to not releasing a substandard product, even if the handling of the situation could have been more transparent. Fans can only hope that Football Manager 26 will see the light of day and perhaps even make its way to Netflix Games as originally planned.
