Concord's Future Uncertain as Updates Continue Amid Speculation
PlayStation's costly FPS, Concord, faces speculation of a free-to-play relaunch after backend updates are detected on Steam.
- Concord, a PlayStation FPS, was pulled from sale just two weeks after launch due to poor performance and lack of player interest.
- Despite its removal, SteamDB shows that Concord's backend files have been updated daily, sparking rumors of a potential free-to-play relaunch.
- The game's initial failure is attributed to entering a saturated hero shooter market dominated by free-to-play titles like Overwatch and Apex Legends.
- Industry speculation suggests that making Concord free-to-play might be a strategy to recoup some of the significant development costs.
- Firewalk Studios, the game's developer, is reportedly facing internal challenges, including the resignation of Concord's director and potential layoffs.
