Breaking: "Football Manager 2025" Abrupt Cancellation Across Platforms

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 the anticipated mobile release on Netflix Games.

The developer cited insufficient technical quality as the primary reason behind this abrupt decision. While a previous delay had already been announced, the complete cancellation came as a surprise. Sports Interactive stated their commitment to delivering a high-quality product and will now focus their resources on the next installment in the franchise, Football Manager 26.

The cancellation is particularly disheartening given the planned Netflix Games mobile launch, a move expected to attract a significant new player base. The future of Football Manager on Netflix Games remains uncertain.

A Difficult Decision

The late-stage cancellation, originally slated for a March release, has understandably generated frustration among fans, especially the lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24. However, the decision to prioritize quality over a potentially subpar release is arguably commendable.

While the handling could have been improved, the commitment to avoiding a compromised product deserves recognition. Hopefully, Football Manager 26 will not only meet high expectations but also see the series return to the Netflix Games platform.
