For the first time, this year's edition of the popular managerial simulation will include players coming out
Football Manager 2018 will feature gay players for the first time in the game's history.
A manager in the game will receive a message in their in-game inbox notifying them that a player on their team has decided to come out as gay.
These will never be real players but instead will be the fictional, computer-generated characters that begin to emerge as seasons progress and real players begin to retire.
"Part of the reason we decided to do this is because there are gay footballers," Miles Jacobson, the game's director, told BBC Sport.
