Football Manager 25 has been delayed to March 2025

Sega and Sports Interactive have announced that Football Manager 25 will be delayed until March 2025, with a gameplay presentation now scheduled for January. According to Sports Interactive, the decision aims to ensure that the game meets expectations by delivering the best possible experience in this new era of Football Manager as the franchise moves to the Unity Engine.

In September's Development Update, the team behind FM25 announced a delay in the game's release to ensure a top-notch gaming experience. Citing the need for more time to meet high standards and fan expectations, the studio acknowledged the challenges faced during the development cycle and emphasised the importance of not rushing the release at the expense of quality.

Unfortunately, this first delay proved insufficient, forcing the team to push the release to March 2025. Once confirmed, release dates for other platforms (Console, Mobile, and Touch) will be announced. Players who have pre-ordered the game will be eligible for a refund.

Regarding the Advanced Access for PC/Mac, it will still be available ahead of the new release date. Moreover, the gameplay reveal has been rescheduled for the end of January 2025.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
