SEGA and Sports Interactive have announced Football Manager 26, the next game in the long-running football management simulation series. Platforms and a release date for the game were not announced yet.
Here’s an overview of the game, via SEGA’s official website:
Football Manager 26 promises to take players on a journey to define their footballing destiny with our most immersive and visually rich Football Manager experience yet. The potential for storytelling is redefined by taking players closer to the heart of the beautiful game.
An early snippet of the elevated Match Day experience through the lens of the official Premier League license gives just a taster of what to expect following the move to the Unity engine.
This is just the beginning so stay tuned for further updates.
This past February, SEGA and Sports Interactive canceled the release of Football Manager 25 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Android, iOS, and PC. According to the developers, there were many challenges that were unforeseen in the development of Football Manager 25. The developers are focusing on working on the next Football Manager game, which turned out to be Football Manager 26.
“Due to a variety of challenges that we’ve been open about to date, and many more unforeseen, we currently haven’t achieved what we set out to do in enough areas of the game, despite the phenomenal efforts of our team,” Sports Interactive said in February. “Each decision to delay the release was made with the aim of getting the game closer to the desired level but, as we approached critical milestones at the turn of the year, it became unmistakably clear that we would not achieve the standard required, even with the adjusted timeline.”
