Football Manager Fans Rejoice!

After a long silence, Football Manager enthusiasts are buzzing with excitement following the release of the first look at Football Manager 26 (FM26). This revelation comes after the unexpected cancellation of FM25, which the developers acknowledged was a tough call, stating that the game fell short of the high standards fans rightfully expect.

A Glimpse at New Features

The new teaser released on social media has gamers eagerly awaiting more. It highlights the message that "not all footage appears in-game" while featuring the captivating voice of commentator Peter Drury, who invites players to remember the thrill of the game: "The wait has been long. The build-up impossible to ignore. So much has changed, but that feeling? It never left." The teaser ends intriguingly with the phrase "Guess who's back?" and hints at a forthcoming "match day first look".

A Legacy of Excellence

Originally launched in 2004, the Football Manager series has become a staple for sports fans, traditionally releasing a new edition each year. Sadly, FM25 was slated for a November 2024 release but was ultimately shelved. In a blog post back in February, Sports Interactive confirmed they would pivot their focus to FM26 and offered refunds to those who pre-ordered the cancelled version.
