Football Manager 2013 release date confirmed

Sega has finally pinned down a release date for Football Manager 2013. The game will be available for PC and Mac in the UK on November 2. Those who pre-order the game in any form will be rewarded with early access to a playable beta. This is expected to launch two weeks before the full title.

Players will be able to carry their saved game from the beta across to the main thing. Beta access runs out on November 5.

"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," Sports Interactive studio director Miles Jacobson said.

"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."

Will you be pre-ordering the footyballsoccer game? Let us know.

Thanks, MCV.
