Sociable Soccer 24 (@Sociable_Soccer), the FIFPRO licensed arcade action game from Sensible Soccer creator Jon Hare, will launch on Steam on November 16. Xbox One, Xbox Series, PS4, and PS5 versions, plus boxed release will be released in 2024.
Back in 1994 the fledgling FIFA franchise used its marketing muscle to knock Sensible World of Soccer, the most influential European developed game of all time (Stanford University 2006), off the top of the world football game charts. Jon Hare, the British designer of the Sensible Soccer franchise, is a man who holds grudges and now he is back to seek vengeance with Sociable Soccer 24.
“Today, while EA Sports FC and the like are inadvertently grooming children as gamblers by packing their overpriced, overhyped simulations full of loot boxes and all manner of money traps, our game is the only one in the world offering arcade football, packed with fun, for less than half the price AND with 13,000 FIFPRO licensed, real world footballers to unlock for free” - said Hare. “…and all of the people who bought Sociable Soccer on Steam Early Access many years ago will get the whole game for free too.”

We are currently investigating the issue and will have a correctly functioning version of Sensible World of Soccer available soon.

We all know how that one turned out.
However, there are strong indications that the title will finally surface on Wednesday. Codemasters Online Gaming's Jim Brown said the following earlier this month: "We are currently targeting a release at the end of November. Of course this is all subject to passing the usual internal and Microsoft submissions."
Well, CVG noticed that there's only one more Wednesday before December rolls around, so it's do or die time for a November release for Sensible World Of Soccer.
Naturally, after months and months of being burned, we're excited for the title -- but we're not going to hold our breath
