Football Manager 17 releases on November 4

The latest iteration of the football management sim will soon be upon us.

Football Manager 17, the latest in the long-running series of football management sims, launches on November 4. On the same day Football Manager Touch 2017 will release for mobile devices and tablets.

Anyone who purchases the full Football Manager 17 experience will also get a code for the Touch version, which streamlines the action considerably for on-the-go management. Otherwise, it'll be available as a separate purchase.

Additionally, those who preorder the game from a digital store will get access to a beta, two weeks before release. The game's official site promises that "a host of new and updated features will be revealed" before the game is launched, which is good news because right now it's not entirely clear what separates 17 from 16 beyond the updated rosters.

Football Manager 17 will be available on PC, Mac and Linux.
