- • FM25 on PC/Mac
- • FM25 Console on Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, and PlayStation 5
- • FM25 Mobile exclusively on Netflix Games
- • FM25 Touch on Nintendo Switch
Below is the announcement trailer.
Here’s the game description:
With the shift to the new Unity game engine, FM25 marks the biggest technical and graphical overhaul in the series’ history. The interface of FM25 has been completely redesigned, leveraging insights into how different types of players engage with the game to create a smoother, more intuitive navigation experience without sacrificing detail. Enhanced graphic fidelity and new volumetric animations for players taken from real matches bring users closer to the action during games.
Women’s football makes its long-awaited debut in the series with FM25, joining the men’s game in a single unified gameplay ecosystem. Players will be able to embark on new adventures leading women’s teams or become more fully immersed in the beautiful game than ever before, thanks to a new multi-year partnership between SI and the Premier League.
These are the words from Sports Interactive’s studio director, Miles Jacobson:
“It’s a huge honor to confirm today the upcoming release of Football Manager 25. As I’ve mentioned during the interviews and in the development updates, the creation of FM25 has required an enormous effort from the entire SI team.”
“FM25 is the starting point for the studio’s work for the next 20 to 30 years. It’s also the chapter that will allow the world to experience two projects we’ve had in the works for several years: the transition to the Unity game engine and the introduction of women’s football. It’s a wonderful feeling to start sharing the results of our hard work with all of you, and we can’t wait to provide more insights into the game in the coming weeks leading up to the official release.”
Today, the studio also released a roadmap on gameplay with new features for this year’s instalment.
