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.

  • 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
