The failure of Concord may be proof that Sony and PlayStation learned nothing from the cancellation of The Last of Us Online.
SALE NOT ALLOWED? Walmart Can't Sell This Controversial PS5 Game!
In case you haven't heard, PlayStation is shutting down another online title. Firewalk Studios' Concord was supposed to be a game changer for the hero-shooter genre but has instead become the biggest flop of all time. The game didn't even last a month before it was taken down.
With the game set to go offline on September 6, 2024, we can't help but wonder where it went wrong. The situation is particularly strange because just last December, Sony shut down The Last of Us Online. Naughty Dog decided to cancel the project considering how demanding a live service game would be.
Concord was supposed to be Sony's answer to popular hero shooters like Overwatch and Valorant. But the reality of the situation was something no one could have predicted. The game was in development for 8 years with a big budget behind it. However, upon release, it failed to attract any kind of player base, peaking at just 697 concurrent players on Steam.
