FM 25: What you need to know while you wait for the game’s release

Football Manager FM 25, eagerly awaited by millions of players, is long overdue. Its release is currently still scheduled for March 2025. But don’t panic, this wait is synonymous with big changes.

A revolutionary game engine (or almost…)

Forget everything you knew. FM25 is now based on the Unity engine, used by gaming giants like Genshin Impact. Goodbye to slightly dated graphics, welcome to a new visual era!

But be careful, this revolution has a price: the technical requirements will skyrocket. Be prepared to upgrade your computer, because the minimum required could make your old machine cry.

The interface? Goodbye to the old, hello to the future!

The FM interface is a bit like an old friend. But get ready to meet a new travel companion. The arrival of Unity leads to a radical change in the interface, more intuitive and more modern. Goodbye mail, hello “Portal”, a new way of interacting with the world of football.

The Premier League: finally the real one!

We will no longer play with fake teams and faceless players. FM25 has finally obtained the official Premier League license! Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal… All the clubs will be present, with their real names, their real shirts and their real players. Goodbye to the “North London Whites” and welcome to Arsenal!

Women’s football is invited to FM 25

Like EA Sport FC last year, one of the main innovations of FM25: the arrival of women’s football! You can now manage a women’s team, recruit players, and even switch between the men’s and women’s teams in the same save. A true revolution for the game.

But also some losses along the way…

Change is sometimes accompanied by sacrifices. The national team, for example, has been set aside for a complete overhaul. No World Cup for you this year, friends.

And that’s not all: Draft mode, Vs mode and even Create-a-Club are missing. But rest assured, SI promises to review and improve them for future releases. Also, if anyone is interested in a draft, please leave a comment.

Release date: patience, patience…

FM 25 is expected to release in March 2025, with an early access period for players who have pre-ordered the game. Until then, we’ll have to wait and just speculate about the new features and surprises that Sports Interactive has in store for us.
