Why Is Football Manager 25 Delayed?
Sports Interactive has pushed back the release of FM25 to March 2025. That’s about four months later than usual. Here’s why:
- They’re switching to a new game engine called Unity, which is taking longer than expected.
- The team wants to ensure the game is the best possible before releasing it.
- Development has been slower than they thought it would be.
FM24 was a big hit, and the developers want to make sure FM25 is even better.
What’s New in Football Manager 25?
Even though it’s delayed, FM25 is shaping up to be a game-changer. Here’s what we know so far:
- Better graphics thanks to the Unity engine
- Women’s football will be included for the first time
- A new user interface that’s easier to use
- Official Premier League licensing with real logos and kits
These changes are why Sports Interactive is calling FM25 “the biggest technical and visual advancement in the series for a generation.”
