Sega canceled Football Manager 25.

Sega’s quarterly earnings revealed that after two delays, this year’s Football Manager isn’t coming: “Whilst many areas of the game have hit our targets, the overarching player experience and interface is not where we need it to be.”

This reminds me of EA missing NBA Live releases in the 2010s, but it’s still disappointing that last year’s game isn’t getting updated to fill in the gap as Sega and Sports Interactive shift focus to FM26.

Football Manager 25 Decided to cancel its development ✓ Aiming for a major evolution of the series by renewing the UI and graphics and adding new elements, but it was found that more time was needed than expected to ensure quality ✓ Cancel the release of this title and focus on development of next title by taking over development assets ✓ Recorded a loss associated with a write-down of inventory assets in Q3
