September 28th 2012
Developer Sports Interactive, the mind behind the best-selling Football Manager series along with its publisher SEGA, is delighted to pronounce the release date for this year’s game. Football Manager 2013 will be released worldwide on Friday, November 2nd.
Fans who are eagerly awaiting the next instalment will be in a treat if you pre-order the game before its launch. Those who pre-order Football Manager 2013 through a participating retail partner will be rewarded with early access to a fully-playable version of the game. Anyone that pre-purchases Football Manager 2013 – either boxed or as a digital download – will be given a unique code giving access to a pre-release, ‘Beta’ version of the single-player 14 days before the official release date.
“Our fans are very good at letting us know what they want and the one thing that’s consistently at the top of their wish list is an earlier release date,” says Sports Interactive Studio Director Miles Jacobson. “While we can’t, strictly speaking, offer them exactly what they want, this Beta version is the next best thing… a fully playable Football Manager they can get their hands on around two weeks before the finished game hits the streets.”
The Football Manager 13 Beta version gives players access to most of the impending game’s fresh features, which includes the all-new Football Manager Classic mode and the short-term Challenges (for more details on each of the modes, check out www.footballmanager.com/features).
The Beta version will run until Monday, November 5th, which after the service will meet its end. Although, any saved progress the player has made during the Beta can be used in the full version of the game once it hit stores.
Football Manager 2013 comes out for Windows PC and Mac on November 2nd 2012. Additional information on the game’s fresh and enhanced features is currently being unveiled in a series of video blogs which can be viewed on the official website, www.footballmanager.com
