FOOTBALL MANAGER RETURNS TO APPLE ARCADE, FM24 TOUCH LAUNCHING NOVEMBER 6TH

London, England – 1st November 2023 – After a stellar debut campaign, Sports Interactive™ and SEGA©’s iconic series returns to Apple Arcade for a new season with Football Manager 2024 Touch.

Launching worldwide from November 6th, FM24 Touch gives fans the ability to step into the shoes of a real manager and build a squad to compete for glory in football’s biggest competitions.

Whether they’re playing on iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV, a new licensing agreement will allow fans to explore fresh horizons with the Meiji Yasuda Insurance Ltd J.1 League, J.2 League and J.3 League unlocking Japan as a playable nation for the first time.

Progress never stops in the pursuit of managerial greatness and the new ability to continue careers on Apple Arcade from FM23 Touch will empower players to resume their ascent to the top of world football.

Fans will be able to define the sort of boss they want to be as soon as they walk through the stadium doors with the introduction of a new manager principles feature. These values and standards form part of a new, wide-ranging Dynamics system that empowers players to inspire their stars and shape a title-winning culture on and off the pitch.

Additionally, enhancements to Training give players more tools to elevate their team’s performances and make their wonderkids world-class.

Directly influenced by player feedback, a freshly optimised game layout for iPhone also presents information in a way that brings players closer to the moments that matter.

The visual improvements don’t stop there, as significant upgrades to player movement, ball physics and lighting create the most immersive and best-looking match engine in the series to date.

Elsewhere, players are better positioned to impact their club on the pitch with a revamped creator tool for set pieces that will help them find the winning edge in every scenario. Off the pitch, an overhauled system for making vital improvement requests, such as a bigger transfer budget or larger stadium, will help players drive their clubs forward.
