COUNTDOWN - The next instalment of FM is in the works

It's hard to say when this will be, but we get the impression that the next instalment of the FM series could drop any time from mid-November 2020.

New features

Despite the delays, it looks as if we will see some new features in FM 21.

"They'll have exceptionally strong features sets" says Jacobson, but it will still be dialled back from what was originally planned.

Platforms

Football Manager 20 was availale on PC via Steam, Mobile, Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia, but Jacobson states this year it'll be on "more platforms and available on more stores than ever before."

It's unlikely, but could we see finally come console, with Xbox One a possibility due to FM20 being on Xbox Game Pass for PC.
