Concord May Be Revived as a Free-to-Play Game After Its Early Failure
After Concord, the highly anticipated hero shooter from Firewalk Studios and Sony, flopped at launch and was pulled from stores just two weeks after its release, recent developments suggest the game might not be dead after all. Concord initially faced harsh criticism for its lack of originality and failed to capture an audience, leading to its removal and refunds for all players. However, new updates to the game’s files on Steam have reignited speculation that it could be making a return as a free-to-play title.
The game’s lackluster reception, coupled with the competition in the hero shooter genre, contributed to its poor performance. However, the recent Steam database updates suggest that Sony might be working on reviving the game, potentially with a new free-to-play model. This change could attract a larger player base, eliminating the paywall that hindered its initial launch.
Though nothing official has been confirmed yet, the updates point to a possible re-release of Concord, giving it a second chance to find success in a crowded market. Fans are eager to see if a free-to-play model will bring new life to the game, but for now, Concord remains unavailable for purchase.
