Sega's Unexpected Announcement: No Football Manager 2025
Sega and Sports Interactive have made the surprising announcement that Football Manager 2025 has been cancelled. This highly anticipated installment, already subject to two delays, was deemed too far from completion to meet the developers' high standards. The statement cited an inability to deliver on promised technological advancements as the reason for cancellation. This level of transparency is refreshing, a stark contrast to some other sports game franchises known for minimal year-to-year updates.
While the honesty is appreciated, the news is undeniably disappointing. The developers also confirmed that Football Manager 24 will receive no updates for the new season, leaving players with only an outdated version for the next year. This is particularly disheartening given the game's history of influencing real-world football careers.
The future of the Football Manager franchise remains uncertain, pending further announcements from Sega and Sports Interactive. Fans will now have to wait for news on the next installment.
