Football Manager 2025 Cancellation Announced Across All Platforms

It's a somber day for fans of the beloved sports simulation game, Football Manager, as the eagerly awaited 2025 edition has been canceled across all platforms, including the much-anticipated mobile version. Sports Interactive, the developer behind the series, had previously delayed the release, but in a sudden announcement, they've pulled the plug on Football Manager 2025 entirely. The reason cited was the inability to meet the desired technical quality standards. However, the team has assured fans that they are channeling their efforts into the next installment of the franchise.

The cancellation is particularly disappointing for fans due to the earlier announcement that Football Manager 25 would debut on Netflix Games for mobile devices. This move was poised to attract a fresh wave of players to the series, but now those plans hang in uncertainty.

Disappointment and Respect

When faced with such cancellations, it's natural for fans to feel frustrated, especially given the timing of this announcement, with the last scheduled release date in March. Adding to the disappointment is the news that there won't be any updates to Football Manager 24 to keep fans engaged in the interim. Yet, it's worth acknowledging the developer's commitment to not releasing a substandard product, even if the communication could have been better. Here's hoping that Football Manager 26 will not only meet but exceed expectations, perhaps even making a return to Netflix Games.
