Football Manager 25's release has been canceled for the first time in the history of the series as developer Sports Interactive announced that quality standards could not be met. Originally slated as a significant upgrade with many improvements and the inclusion of women's soccer, the game faced multiple delays that pushed it past its usual fall cycle. Despite efforts from the development team, the challenges faced proved insurmountable, leading to the decision to focus on future installments instead of releasing an incomplete product.
Due to a variety of challenges that we've been open about to date, and many more unforeseen, we currently haven't achieved what we set out to do in enough areas of the game, despite the phenomenal efforts of our team. Each decision to delay the release was made with the aim of getting the game closer to the desired level but, as we approached critical milestones at the turn of the year, it became unmistakably clear that we would not achieve the standard required, even with the adjusted timeline.
Football Manager 25 had been envisioned as a major revamp for the series, with Sports Interactive promising the "biggest technical and visual advancement in the series for a generation, laying the building blocks for a new era." The game was due to introduce better animations, improved UI, and an overhauled match day experience, and to include women's soccer for the first time.
