Football Manager 25 Canceled After Multiple Delays

Sports Interactive shifts focus to Football Manager 26, citing unmet quality standards and timeline constraints.

Football Manager 25 was canceled following two delays, with developers citing challenges in meeting quality expectations despite significant progress.
The game was intended to be a major overhaul for the series, featuring a new graphics engine, revamped interface, and the addition of women's football.
Developers decided against releasing an unfinished product or extending the timeline beyond March, as it would conflict with the football season.
Pre-orders will be fully refunded through official retailers, with refunds processed automatically for affected customers.
Sports Interactive has redirected its efforts toward Football Manager 26, aiming to deliver on the ambitious improvements initially planned for FM25.
