Highly Anticipated Game Faces Setback
Fans of the popular Football Manager series were left shocked and disappointed after Sega announced a significant delay for the release of Football Manager 25, one of the most anticipated entries in the franchise to date.
Initial Excitement Turns to Disappointment
Originally scheduled for a November 26 release date, the news was met with rejoicing from eager fans who were looking forward to managing their favorite teams and players in the game.
Game Features and Setbacks
Football Manager 25 was set to feature Premier League players and clubs, with an added bonus for mobile users - the mobile version of the game was to be included for free for Netflix subscribers. However, Sega and developer Sports Interactive announced that the game will now be delayed until March 2025.
Reasons Behind the Delay
In a statement posted on Twitter, Sports Interactive explained that the extra time was necessary to ensure that the game met the high standards expected by fans. Development challenges and the need for technical and visual advancements contributed to the delay.
Impacts on the Gaming Season
Unfortunately, this delay means that Football Manager 25 will miss out on most of the football season, allowing other games like EA Sports FC 25 to dominate the gaming space during this time.
Future Release Plans
When Football Manager 25 eventually launches, it will be available for various platforms including PC, Xbox, PS5, mobile devices, and a Nintendo Switch version called FM25 Touch. Fans can expect the game to be showcased in a good state by January 2025.
