- Football Manager 2025 has been fully canceled by Developer Sports Interactive
- The game had already been delayed twice
- The developer stated that it “has not achieved what we intend to do”
Sports Interactive has announced the complete cancellation of the next post in its Behemoth Football Strategy and Management SIM -Franchise, Football Manager 2025.
Sports Interactive apologized fans and said “We are who said, having failed to have failed to have failed to have failed to have failed, to have failed.” As the normally annual series will now skip a whole post.
Sports Interactive regrets to inform that we have made the difficult decision to cancel football manager 25.February 7, 2025
Previously touted by the developer as the largest graphic and technical step up the series has ever seen, the transformation has not been considered good enough for release yet, and Sports Interactive will now “move our focus to the next release”.
The developer also reveals interesting enough that the overall cancellation was preferable to release the game in its current state and then patch it with regular updates – a practice that is almost always seen with video game releases, annual or not.
When we address this choice, the statement says “We could have pressed, released FM25 in its current state and fixed things down the line – but that’s not the right thing to do.”
Sports Interactive adds that playsting and internal evaluations have found that they “are coming close to”, but then added that “we are too far away from the standards you deserve.”
It continued: “Every decision to delay release was made for the purpose of getting the game closer to the desired level, but as we approached critical milestones at the year of the year, it became unmistakably clear that we could not achieve the required standard”
One can only hope this means Football Manager 2026 Will be something really incredible considering the extra time this disappointing news also offers the developer.
Usually released in October or November, a few months into the European football season, all eyes will now go to Football Manager 2026 With fans who have to endure more of a wait and a test of their patience.
