Looking to expand upon the opportunities of the uber-popular series, developers have got it together with leading publisher Future, to bring a CM4 magazine to shelves.

The new publication goes on-sale on October the 24th, priced at £5.49, and both companies will no doubt be hoping to cash-in on the opportunities offered by the game’s large community.

“With over three million copies in its illustrious 10-year history, Championship Manager is probably the only game with a following which can support such an ambitious publication,” says Miles Jacobson, managing director, Sports Interactive. “We’ll be working closely with Future Publishing to give our fans a superb collection of official magazines – with stacks of additional data available only through the magazine and on www.sigames.com.”
