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. In a formal statement, the companies announced the game's cancellation and confirmed full refunds for all pre-orders.

The reason? The game, already subject to two delays, was deemed too far from completion. While the developers had promised significant technological advancements, they ultimately fell short of their ambitious goals. This transparency is refreshing, a stark contrast to some sports game franchises known for minimal updates between releases.

However, the news isn't entirely positive. The developers also confirmed that Football Manager 24 will receive no updates for the new season. This is a significant setback for many players, particularly those who have leveraged their in-game success to secure real-world positions within football clubs. For the coming year, only the outdated Football Manager 24 will be available.

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