With a host of new features and details still to be revealed there’s still plenty more to come from Championship Manager 2010

Championship Manager held an exclusive press event at Villa Park this afternoon in which Beautiful Game Studios General Manager Roy Meredith revealed that the hotly anticipated Championship Manager 2010 will be hitting stores on the 11th of September, with a demo available from the 14th of August.

“I’m delighted to be able to confirm the 11th September release date for Championship Manager 2010. This edition contains features which will really set us apart from the competition such as CM Season Live™ which offers a totally new dimension to the football management genre,” said Roy Meredith. “This is the culmination of two years incredibly hard work and the whole studio is genuinely excited about how gamers will react when they get the chance to play it for the first time.”

Championship Manager 2010 is the latest edition of the classic football management franchise, and will be the first football game available for the 2009/10 season. In development for over 2 years, the 2010 edition offers players a host of unique features never seen before in football management games. These include a bespoke 3D match engine with over 500 individual player animations created specifically for Championship Manager, a Set-piece creator giving users the chance to create their own unique free kicks and corners, Scouting Networks allowing users to set-up local networks in countries around the world and scout for local players and Practice matches helping users build and mould their perfect team or trial new players.

Championship Manager also includes an industry first in CM Season Live™ allowing players to download the real-world 09/10 football season data and take on real world managerial decisions and challenges in the leading leagues across Europe.

Ahead of the games release, players will be able to try out all of the latest features and more in a full demo available from August 14th via the Championship Manager website. With 6 months game time (over half a season) contained in the demo and fully compatible with the full version of the game on its release, players have a full four weeks to prepare themselves for the release of Championship Manager 2010.

Championship Manager 2010 will be available across Europe in French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish and Polish on Friday September 11th 2009.

With just a few days to go until demo release, we thought now would be a good time to inform you of a free data update we'll be offering for download on the day of release.

On September 11th we will release a free data update, emcompassing all transfers that have taken place during the transfer window, and any data changes that have occurred since July 1st, such as Chester City being deducted 25pts (ouch!)

So to clarify, both digital and boxed versions of the game will contain data upto July 1st 2009. So when you start your game from this point the data will reflect real life as of that moment in time.

Alternatively, you can download the free update - which will be available on release day - and you can still start your game from July 1st, but the game will be up to date with all summer transfers having taken place, i.e. Michael Owen will be at Manchester United, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic at Barcelona.

This way we hope it gives managers the choice of which database they wish to use in-game.
