Concord will forever go down as one of the biggest fumbles in PlayStation history.
Shame on Sony! Concord goes OFFLINE! A bad sign for AAA games?
Concord will forever be remembered as one of the biggest gaming fumbles in PlayStation history. 8 years of hard work by the developers of Firewalk Studios has been thrown down the drain after the multiplayer game failed to live up to expectations despite having veterans at the helm and a cross-platform release between PlayStation 5 and PC players. The publisher ultimately decided it was best to pull the plug two weeks after launch and save the company from further embarrassment.
The gaming industry can be cutthroat, and not everything will work out the way the developers expected. This will be loaded to experience and become a cautionary tale on how to avoid a garbage fire in a game in 2024.
Despite the support of one of the biggest competitors in the video game industry, Firewalk Studios' project never stood a chance. The number of active daily players for a benchmark tool is significantly higher than that of people playing Concord on Steam, and that says a lot about how little the gaming community is interested in another online multiplayer hero shooter.
