Concord Was In Development For 8 Years, Studio Confirmed

Expert Verified By

Eight Years For Disappointing Result?

Story Highlight
  • PlayStation’s ambitious hero shooter Concord is releasing after a few days on August 23
  • New reports say the developers had spent eight years working hard on the game.
  • Yet the game appears to be joining this year’s live service failures, such as Suicide Squad and Skull and Bones.

While Sony released some successful exclusives this year, the expectations were also high for its next exclusive, Concord, a live-service hero shooter. However, apart from criticism, PlayStation has found nothing with the game until now.

Though the title has yet to be released, its pre-release state doesn’t look promising for a successful launch. A report suggests that Firewalk also spent an underwhelming eight years developing Concord.

Why it matters: Firewalk consists of veterans from many big studios, like Bungie and Activision, who have experience with live service games. Still, Concord’s current shape is terrible.

Concord Might Turn Out To Be A Failure

Firewalk is gearing up for one of Sony’s most important exclusives of the year, Concord, which will be released on August 23. The latest reports have confirmed the development cycle for the game, and it has been quite a long time.

Firewalk developers said they had spent eight years to achieve the current results. However, things have been going in the opposite direction. Several years haven’t yielded much for Sony because the early impressions of the game are subpar.

The review bombing of the game suggests poor character design, the same iteration of the typical shooter formula, and nothing innovative or exciting for fans. As such, people will likely be disappointed with the development timeline.

We have already seen developers working for a few years and offering decent games like Palworld, which has become the year’s 2nd biggest title. This leads to the point that giving time is not enough. Studios must be creative and innovative to make the years of hard work fruitful.

Palworld Only Took a Few Years

In its current state, it can be easily assumed that Concord will not have a successful launch and might attract only a few thousand concurrent players, joining failures like Skull and Bones and Suicide Squad.

However, as it’s a live service game, Sony has time to invest those years by releasing updates that can convince players to give the hero shooter another chance.
