Football Manager 2025 cancelled on all platforms

It's a disappointing day for fans of the renowned sports simulation game, Football Manager, as the eagerly awaited 2025 edition has been officially canceled across all platforms, including its anticipated mobile version. Sports Interactive, the game's developer, had already delayed the release previously. However, in a surprising turn of events, they've now declared the cancellation of Football Manager 2025, citing challenges in reaching the desired technical quality. The team emphasized their shift in focus to the development of the next installment in the series.

This cancellation is particularly disheartening for fans due to several reasons, with the primary disappointment stemming from the earlier announcement that Football Manager 25 would be available on Netflix Games for mobile devices. This move was expected to attract a significant number of new players to the franchise, an opportunity that is now uncertain for the foreseeable future.

A Step Too Far

Announcements like this often lead to frustration among fans, especially given the timing of the cancellation, which came just as the latest release was slated for March of this year. The absence of any updates to Football Manager 24 to bridge the gap only adds to the disappointment. While it's understandable to feel frustrated, it's important to recognize the integrity behind the decision not to release a substandard product, even if the handling of the situation could have been improved. Fans can only hope that when Football Manager 26 is eventually announced, it will see a return to Netflix Games.
