FM 25 was cancelled... The countdown for Football Manager 26 has begun! The trailer is out!
This simulation classic has held a unique place in the world of football management games for years. Every year, hundreds of thousands of players spend hours in front of FM, creating stories from amateur leagues to Champions League triumphs.
FM25 was cancelledOne reason for the high anticipation for FM26 is the disappointment felt after FM25's cancellation. Sports Interactive announced last February that FM25's planned release had been postponed and ultimately canceled. This decision, made after consultation with SEGA, resonated strongly with the gaming community.
Sports Interactive made the following statement at the time:
“To the many players who pre-ordered FM25, we sincerely thank you for your trust and support. We are sorry to disappoint you.”
'WE ARE BACK'But this time, expectations are different. The released trailer reveals that FM26 may have the most realistic graphics yet. The trailer sends a powerful message to FM enthusiasts with the words, "We're back. Better. We're preparing for the next season."
The development team, seemingly determined to make up for last year's lapses, is also highlighting the game's revamped matchday experience. Improvements to FM26's match engine and graphical enhancements signal a significant leap forward for this year's version.
