Football Manager 2025 Cancellation Announced Across All Platforms

It's a somber moment for fans of the beloved sports simulation game, Football Manager, as the eagerly anticipated 2025 edition has been canceled across all platforms, including the much-anticipated mobile version. Sports Interactive, the game's developer, had previously delayed the release, but in a sudden announcement, they've confirmed the cancellation of Football Manager 2025, effective immediately. The team pointed to struggles in reaching the desired technical quality as the reason behind this tough decision, while assuring fans that their focus is now shifting to the next installment in the series.

The cancellation is undoubtedly a blow to the community, particularly following the exciting news that Football Manager 25 was set to launch on Netflix Games for mobile devices. This move was expected to attract a fresh wave of players to the franchise, but those plans are now on hold indefinitely.

A Step Too Far?

Announcements like these often stir feelings of frustration among fans, especially when the cancellation comes so late in the game. The last scheduled release date was in March of this year, and there won't be any updates to Football Manager 24 to bridge the gap. While it's understandable to feel disappointed, it's worth acknowledging the integrity in Sports Interactive's decision to avoid releasing a substandard product. Hopefully, when Football Manager 26 is announced, we'll see the series make its way back to Netflix Games.
