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 a failure to meet their internal standards for technical quality as the reason behind the cancellation. This decision comes after previous delays, leaving many fans frustrated, especially given the planned Netflix Games launch which promised to expand the game's reach.
A Difficult Decision
While the late cancellation is undoubtedly frustrating, particularly with the lack of planned updates to Football Manager 24, it's arguably commendable that Sports Interactive prioritized delivering a high-quality product. The absence of a patch to bridge the gap until the next installment is a missed opportunity, however.
The decision raises questions about the future of Football Manager on Netflix Games, a partnership that held significant potential for the franchise. Hopefully, Football Manager 26 will see a return to this platform.
