Sega Cancels Football Manager 25 and Lowers Revenue Forecast

The company cites quality concerns for the cancellation while highlighting strong sales of recent releases and catalog titles.

Sega canceled the development of Football Manager 25 due to challenges in meeting quality expectations for its planned March release.
Development assets from Football Manager 25 will be carried over to its sequel to ensure a higher-quality product in the future.
The company revised its FY2025 Entertainment Contents revenue forecast to ¥320 billion ($2.1 billion), down from its previous projection of ¥335 billion ($2.2 billion).
Despite the cancellation, Sega reported strong sales growth in its Consumer division, with titles like Metaphor: ReFantazio exceeding expectations and Sonic x Shadow Generations surpassing 2 million units sold.
Sega also recorded a ¥6.1 billion ($40 million) loss earlier in FY2025 due to the divestment of Amplitude Studios.
