Concord is one of the biggest failures in PlayStation history. Firewalk Studios' hero shooter shut down just a few days after its launch due to disappointing sales. The companies decided to pull it from stores and issue full refunds to all PlayStation 5 and PC players.
In their statement, they suggested they would explore alternatives for a possible return of the title with major adjustments to finally capture the community's attention. Since then, we haven't heard anything more about Concord, but hints of its possible relaunch have recently surfaced.
Has Concord been updated on Steam? Is it coming back soon?
Some players have noticed that Concord has continued receiving new updates on Steam despite its shutdown. According to the details, its last update was released on October 8th, which has left part of the community puzzled, as they thought Concord was completely done for.
The release of updates makes many players believe that Firewalk Studios is indeed working on tweaks and new features for a future relaunch of Concord. Some even think the strategy will be to offer the hero shooter as a free-to-play game on PlayStation 5 and PC.
It's worth remembering that one of the most criticized aspects of the game was its $40 USD price tag. Analysts warned that the game would fail, as it entered an already saturated market of similar live-service titles that are offered for free.
Players are aware that Concord has received multiple updates in recent days thanks to SteamDB; however, this isn't actually a confirmation that the game will return in the near future.
As of this writing, Firewalk Studios hasn't commented on the matter. We know the studio is going through a tough time, as one of its directors stepped down and the rest of the staff fear layoffs due to the failure of Concord.
Some players claimed that the hero shooter had potential that wasn’t fully realized. However, the reality is that its return as a free-to-play title doesn't guarantee success either, so Concord remains a gamble, and we don't know if PlayStation will bet on it again.
