Sega's unexpected announcement regarding the Football Manager series has sent ripples through the gaming community. The highly anticipated 2025 installment has been cancelled, with Sega and Sports Interactive citing an unfinished game as the reason. Pre-orders will be fully refunded.
The cancellation, following two prior delays, stems from the developers' inability to implement a promised significant technological upgrade. This frank admission is a refreshing change from the practices of some other sports game franchises known for minimal updates between releases.
While this honesty is appreciated, the news remains disappointing. The developers have also confirmed that Football Manager 24 will not receive a 2025 season update. This is a considerable setback for players, particularly given the game's history of influencing real-world football careers. For the coming year, only the older version will be accessible.
The future of the Football Manager franchise remains uncertain, pending further announcements from Sega and Sports Interactive.
