Eidos has announced that Championship Manager is to
appear on Xbox and, for the first time ever, PlayStation 2. Championship Manager 5, the
latest instalment in the series, will be released in spring 2005 on both formats. The game
is being developed by Gusto Games.
Championship Manager was first released in 1992
and the series has now sold more than 5 million copies worldwide. Championship Manager 4 is
the UK's fastest-selling PC game, having sold 124,627 copies in its first week of sale in
March 2003. The PC version of Championship Manager 5 will be released in October
2004.
Championship Manager 5 lets you choose a club and manage it to glory, dealing
with everything from transfers and training, to tactics and the media. The action can be
viewed via a 2D match engine enabling you to make tactical decisions as the game unfolds.
Championship Manager 5 is the closest thing to real-life football management.
