Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release
Fans of the popular football management simulation game, Football Manager, are facing disappointment as Sports Interactive has announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including the anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games.
The developer cited concerns regarding technical quality as the primary reason for the cancellation. This decision follows previous delays in the game's release schedule. While frustrating for fans, especially given the planned Netflix Games launch, Sports Interactive's statement emphasizes a commitment to delivering a high-quality product. They are now focusing their development efforts on the next installment in the franchise, Football Manager 26.
A Difficult Decision
The late cancellation, initially slated for March of this year, and the lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24 are understandably frustrating for players. However, the decision to prioritize quality over a rushed, potentially subpar release is arguably a responsible one. The hope is that Football Manager 26 will not only meet high expectations but also fulfill the promise of a mobile release via Netflix Games.
