It's a somber moment for fans of the iconic sports simulation game as Football Manager 2025 has been officially cancelled across all platforms, including its anticipated mobile version. Sports Interactive, the game's developer, had already delayed the release once, but in a surprising turn of events, they've now confirmed the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 effective immediately. The reason cited was their struggle to meet the expected standards of technical quality. However, they've reassured fans that their focus is now shifting towards the development of the next installment in the series.
This cancellation hits hard, especially after the exciting news that Football Manager 25 was set to debut on Netflix Games for mobile, a move poised to attract a new wave of enthusiasts. Unfortunately, this opportunity is now indefinitely postponed.
A Step Too Far?
Such announcements naturally stir frustration among fans, particularly with the cancellation coming so late. The last announced release date was in March of this year, and there won't be any updates to Football Manager 24 to bridge the gap. While the frustration is understandable, it's important to acknowledge the integrity in Sports Interactive's decision to avoid releasing a subpar product. Hopefully, with the eventual announcement of Football Manager 26, we'll see the series return to Netflix Games, offering fresh excitement to its community.
