Fans of the popular football management simulation series Football Manager will have to wait a little longer for the latest installment, as Sports Interactive has announced another delay for Football Manager 2025.
Football fans who were eagerly anticipating the release of Football Manager 2025 this September will be disappointed to learn that the game has been delayed yet again and will now release in March 2025.
This is the second delay for the latest entry in Sports Interactive's flagship franchise, which was originally scheduled to launch in November 2024. No specific reason for the delay has been given, but the studio has stated that they are working hard to deliver the best possible game experience.
Football Manager 2025 Delayed Again, Now Releasing in March 2025
Football Manager is one of the premier football sims, focusing on the macro-level organization and arrangement of a football team rather than moment-to-moment play. The series has a dedicated fan base who eagerly await each new installment, and the delay to Football Manager 2025 is sure to be met with some disappointment.
It is unclear whether or not this delay will also affect the touch version of the game for mobile devices, which typically releases at the same time as the mainline entry. Sports Interactive has not yet confirmed the status of the mobile version.
Football Manager 2025 was set to launch exclusively for Netflix Games, in a major coup for the streaming service. It is unclear if the delay will also affect this release, but it is likely that the mobile version will also be delayed.
Despite the delay, Football Manager fans can take solace in the fact that the previous installment, Football Manager 2024, was a huge success. The game introduced a number of new features and improvements, and it was widely praised by critics and players alike.
