It’s a blow to the FPS genre, especially since Concord was highly anticipated. The combination of hero shooter elements and the development effort from Firewalk Studios promised a unique experience.
Sony’s decision to pull it from sale shortly after launch is surprising. Do you know if any reasons were given for the pull, or what might happen to the game’s future?
It sounds like the launch didn’t meet expectations, which is unfortunate for both Firewalk Studios and players.
It’s good that they’re offering refunds to those who purchased the game, but it’s a disappointing outcome considering the effort and anticipation surrounding Concord.
More About The Video Game: Concord
Well, Concord, a first-person hero shooter developed by Firewalk Studios, launched on August 23, 2024, but was pulled from sale just 12 days later on September 3, 2024, due to a disappointing launch.
The game’s servers will remain operational until September 6, 2024, allowing players to earn Trophies and Achievements or play one last time. Refunds are available for those who purchased the game.
Concord had a peak of just 697 players on Steam at launch, indicating lower-than-expected interest.
Given that Sony rarely releases player count figures for PlayStation games, it’s likely that the PlayStation player count was also below expectations, contributing to the decision to pull the game.
