Football Manager 25 has been announced and kicks off this November
Sega have announced Football Manager 25, which should be of no surprise to anyone and it will release this November 26 for most platforms, with various subtitles depending on the platform. Check out the announcement trailer below.
Football Manager 25 introduces a completely overhauled UI, designed with insights into the diverse ways people engage with our games. The result is a navigation experience that's both intuitive and detailed.
The game's visual quality has been significantly enhanced, with new volumetric player animations derived from actual football matches, offering an immersive Matchday experience.
In a groundbreaking move, Women's Football debuts in FM25, integrated into the same ecosystem as the men's game. This inclusion allows players to pioneer the women's game or delve deeper into football than ever before, bolstered by Sports Interactive's new multi-year partnership with the Premier League.
“It’s a great honour today to be confirming the forthcoming release of Football Manager 25. As I’ve mentioned in interviews and development updates, the FM25 cycle has been challenging for the entire SI team.
FM25 is just the starting point for the studio’s next 20, 30 years. It’s also the point where the world gets to see two of our multi-year projects come to fruition: the switch to the Unity engine and the introduction of Women’s Football. It gives us a real sense of achievement to begin sharing our hard work with you and we’re really looking forward to showing you more of the game in the weeks before the game’s release.”
One of the biggest changes to the game this year is that its now built in Unity, which also means that the series now sees the biggest technical and visual advancement for the series in a generation.
Release wise, there are a few things to understand, as there are again various different subtitles and release dates, first up the mainline series.
