Sony Shut Down Concord Two Weeks After Release Date.
Sony’s Hero Shooter Concord Fails to Impress, Shut Down After Two Weeks
Sony had high hopes for Concord, their latest hero shooter, but the game failed to live up to expectations. The company decided to pull the plug only two weeks after its release, with refunds going out to players who purchased it. The gaming community, including professionals and fans, took to social media to share their thoughts on the game’s demise.
A Wave of Empathy and Criticism
Gears of War creator Cliff Bleszinski expressed his empathy for Concord’s quick demise, as his own game, LawBreakers, met a similar fate in 2018. Art director Michael Maurino also shared his feelings of solidarity with the team behind the game. However, some gamers criticized the game’s diverse lineup of characters, with Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier and Christopher Dring calling out those who blamed diversity for the game’s failure.
A Potential Resurgence?
Despite the shutdown, fans speculate that Concord could resurface as a free-to-play game in the future. One fan, Superboy, tweeted that it’s “inevitable” that the game will be reskinned and relaunched as a free-to-play title next year. Only time will tell if Concord will rise from the ashes.
