Football Manager 2025 cancelled on all platforms

In a disappointing turn of events for fans of the popular sports simulation series, Football Manager 2025 has been officially cancelled across all platforms, including the much-anticipated mobile version. This abrupt decision comes after multiple delays, with Sports Interactive, the game's developer, citing challenges in reaching the desired technical quality as the primary reason behind the cancellation. They have assured fans that their focus is now shifting towards the development of the next installment in the franchise.

The news is particularly disheartening for those who were eagerly awaiting the game's release on Netflix Games for mobile, a platform that promised to bring the Football Manager experience to a broader audience. With this cancellation, the potential for new fans to discover the franchise through Netflix is now uncertain.

A Step Too Far?

The announcement has understandably sparked frustration among the fanbase, especially given its timing. The latest release date for Football Manager 2025 was set for March of this year, and there will be no updates to Football Manager 24 to bridge the gap. While the frustration is palpable, it's important to acknowledge the integrity behind Sports Interactive's decision to avoid releasing a substandard product. Hopefully, this commitment to quality will pay off when Football Manager 26 is eventually announced, and perhaps it will see a return to the Netflix Games platform.

In the interim, if you're feeling the void left by the absence of Football Manager 2025, don't despair. Keep an eye on our weekly feature where we highlight the top five new mobile games to keep you entertained and engaged until the next Football Manager release.
