With the promotion of the Firewalk Studios and Sony, the world gamers are also looking forward to a truly monumental game, enough to join the list of popular FPS games even overtaking some old names such as Counter Strike: Global Offensive or Overwatch, Valorant or even Black Myth: Wukong. However, everything later was only disappointment.
Sony's Concord game is a pathetic failure
Upon debut, Concord received the number of players … so low that the alarm when it was impossible to overcome 1000 players on the Steam on the debut day. Even the test stage, the game only attracts more than 2k players and gradually decreases day by day. At that time, it can be poured due to the same time as Black Myth: Wukong also launched. But Sony himself was very confident about this game, they themselves have to make sure to create a good game to defeat every opponent.
Right from the poster design showed a certain similarity to Valorant
However, Firewalk Studios at that time also intended to do many other seasons and development orientation until 2025. Recently, Concord was announced by PlayStation and Firewalk Studios to end on September 6, including all accompanying activities and mechanisms. In addition, the company will also refund all gamers who have bought games, PS5 or PC. If the player has bought the game for PS5 from PlayStation Store or PlayStation Direct, the refund will be returned to the initial payment method.
Concord had to close after only more than half a month
Causes for “blockbuster destiny”?
According to the gaming community, before its launch, Concord has been expected to be less attractive when creating a character that is really difficult to understand. In addition, the representative of the publisher of the game also had direct conflicts with the gaming community when they received suggestions. Not satisfying your players, plus competitors at the same time (like Black Myth: Wukong) has done too well, Concord received failure.
Some of the reactions of Vietnamese gamers who had time to follow this game
According to statistics, up to before the announcement of stopping the entire game, Concord has only sold about 25,000 copies only. This is a failure for a game, if you know that in a statistics on Black Myth: Wukong, more than 37 million players at the same time on Steam.
