Game Overview:
Concord is an online multiplayer first person shooter developed by Firewalk Studios and published by Sony.
It features a “unique universe of vibrant worlds” and a “rich cast of colorful characters”.
"We probably need to have a lot of gates, including user testing or internal evaluation," said COO and CFO Hiroki Totoki.
What the hell is going on with PlayStation?
The deal also reportedly didn't include the cost of Sony's acquisition of Firewalk Studios or the IP rights for Concord.
Ballistic Moon and Sony's horror adventure remake reportedly saw 28 percent fewer players on PS5 at launch than the doomed hero shooter Concord.
It's claimed that about $200 million had been spent on the game up to the point it entered alpha state in 2023, with another $200 million spent on it afterward.
Developer Firewalk remains unaware on what Sony will decide for the future of not only Concord, but also the studio itself, a new report has claimed.
Two weeks after launch, Firewalk's multiplayer shooter has been taken offline and pulled from sale, with the future uncertain.
After the hero shooter's recent dismally failed launch, Sony and Firewalk have announced they will be refunding all sales as they take the game offline.
The hero shooter has sold 15,000 units on PlayStation and 10,000 on PC, as per industry analyst Simon Carless.
Even without everything against it, Firewalk Studios' entry in the live-service hero shooter genre fundamentally underwhelms.
Firewalk Studios' hero shooter launches to dismal player numbers and a noticeable lack of interest. Here's potentially why.
Firewalk Studios and Sony's hero shooter is out today for all players on PlayStation 5 and PC, with its first post-launch season set to kick off in October.
Multiplayer shooter Concord is gearing up for its official release after having spent quite a bit of time in development.

Firewalk says players can unlock "hundreds of items" by playing the game, completing Jobs, leveling up characters, and more.
Sony and Firewalk's upcoming hero shooter is failing to get any real traction, having failed to attract players in sizeable numbers during its beta period.
The open beta adds a new map, Bone Mines, and a new mode, Area Control. Players can also unlock a new Variant for Haymar.
Excellent visuals and solid gunplay adorn Firewalk Studios' competitive shooter, but some of its ideas could use a rethink.
Several staff members are credited for PvE in the early access beta, though Firewalk hasn't officially confirmed a dedicated mode.

The beta goes live on July 12th, 10 AM PDT for PS5 and PC. It features four maps, three modes and 16 playable Freegunners.
The upcoming multiplayer shooter is getting its beta later this week, followed by a full release in August.

To allow "that cross-play and cross-progression to work, that's a layer that needs to be there," says Firewalk's Jon Weisnewski.
"I strongly believe that our game has an identity that is unique and plays like nothing else," said Firewalk's Jon Weisnewsk.
Firewalk's director of IP Kim Kreines says it's an "added layer for folks that want to invest in it" and completely optional.
"We’re excited for the game and for the IP, and for the game to be in people’s hands," says IP director Kim Kreines when asked about the backlask against Concord's reveal trailer.
"We believe so strongly that the full experience should be available to all of our players," says director of IP Kim Kreines.
