Get ready to discover more reasons to love the beautiful game simulation in 25 Football Manager, which will be globally released starting November 26th.
Following a record year for 24 Football Manager, with over 14 million players across platforms, the latest installment of the famous franchise by Sports Interactive and SEGA puts players at the heart of a deep and authentic football world where they determine their own destiny.
For the first time ever, Football Manager 25 will include the Arabic language, making it more suitable for the Middle East and North Africa region. With the move to the Unity engine, FM25 represents the biggest technical and visual advancement for the series in a generation.
The user interface in FM25 has been completely revamped, benefiting from insights on how different types of people play our games to produce something more advanced and intelligent in navigation without sacrificing details. The graphics accuracy has been improved, and new lifelike player movements taken from real football matches have been added to bring players closer to the matchday experience.
Women’s football makes its first appearance in the series in FM25, smoothly joining the men’s game in one unified ecosystem. Players can explore new ground or dive deeper into the magic of the game more than ever before thanks to a new multi-year partnership with the English Premier League. More information on unique leagues, licenses, and languages will also be announced before the game’s release.
Miles Jacobson, Studio Director at Sports Interactive, said:
It is a great honor for us today to announce the highly anticipated release of Football Manager 25. As mentioned in interviews and development updates, the FM25 cycle was a big challenge for the entire SI team. FM25 is just the beginning point for the twenty or thirty years ahead for the studio. It is also the point where the world gets to see the fruits of our multi-year projects: the transition to the Unity engine and the introduction of women’s football. This gives us a real sense of achievement, and we are very excited to start sharing our hard work with you and look forward to showcasing more about the game in the weeks leading up to its release.
The studio also shares a roadmap today focusing on gameplay to highlight what’s new in this year’s release. Follow our social platforms for more information on upcoming details. In addition to the PC and Mac release, Football Manager 25 is scheduled to arrive on Xbox and PlayStation 5 on November 26th.
FM25 (Xbox) and FM25 (PC/Mac) will also be available through Xbox Game Pass again, and the developer will also release it on Nintendo Switch, with Football Manager 25 Touch set to launch on December 3rd.
More details about the release of FM25 Touch will be provided in the coming weeks. Keeping the classic feel while adding a range of new features, Football Manager 25 Mobile will be exclusively released on the Netflix platform on November 26th. Players will be able to enjoy women’s football, as well as the ability to transfer their save files from FM24 Mobile, although FM25 Mobile has not yet adopted the Unity engine. Players who pre-purchase FM25 for PC and Mac from SEGA’s approved digital distributors will receive a 10% discount.
