It's a somber moment for fans of the renowned sports simulation series as Football Manager 2025 has been officially canceled across all platforms, including its anticipated mobile version. Sports Interactive, the game's developer, had previously delayed the release, but in a sudden move, they've now announced the complete cancellation of Football Manager 2025. The reason behind this decision, as stated by Sports Interactive, is their struggle to meet the expected technical quality standards. However, they've assured fans that their focus is shifting towards crafting the next installment in the series.
The news is particularly disappointing for fans who were eagerly awaiting the mobile release on Netflix Games, a platform move that promised to introduce the franchise to a new audience. With this cancellation, the future of Football Manager on Netflix Games remains uncertain.
A Step Too Far?
Such cancellations naturally stir frustration among fans, especially given the timing of this announcement, which came just after the latest expected release date in March. Adding to the disappointment is the lack of updates to Football Manager 24 to bridge the gap for eager players. However, it's important to recognize the integrity in Sports Interactive's decision to avoid releasing a substandard product, even if the communication could have been more effective. Looking forward, fans can only hope that Football Manager 26 will not only meet the series' high standards but also make its way back to Netflix Games.
