Sports Interactive announces an October 31st release date for Football Manager 2014, the next installment in their association football/soccer simulation. The game is coming to Windows, OS X, and for the first time, Linux. Those who can't wait that long to get to kick this around can consider pre-ordering, as this will grant access to the game's closed beta about two weeks before the official launch. Word is: "Careers started in this Beta version will continue in the full game. A list of retailers participating in this pre-order promotion can be found at www.footballmanager.com."
