Football Manager 2025 Cancelled: Sports Interactive Prioritizes Quality Over Release
Fans of the popular football management simulator, Football Manager, are facing disappointment. Sports Interactive has announced the cancellation of Football Manager 2025 across all platforms, including its anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games.
The developer cited a failure to meet their internal standards for technical quality as the reason behind the cancellation. This decision follows previous delays in the game's release. The statement confirmed that development efforts are now focused on the next installment in the franchise, Football Manager 26.
This abrupt cancellation is particularly frustrating for fans given the previously announced Netflix Games mobile release, a move expected to significantly expand the game's player base. The future of Football Manager on Netflix Games remains uncertain.
While fan frustration is understandable, especially considering the March release date was recently announced and there will be no FM24 updates, Sports Interactive's commitment to quality is commendable. The hope is that Football Manager 26 will meet the high expectations set by the series and potentially return to the Netflix Games platform.
