Concord To Launch August 2024 For PlayStation 5 And PC

This past February, corporate Sony broke the seal on PlayStation’s plans for its release itinerary for 2024. To limit expectations, it was confidently confirmed that many legacy franchises for PlayStation will be absent. It was indicated that instead new games – namely part of the live-service push – would be the main focus for the platform this year.

One major IP is Bungie’s Marathon. Whilst a multiplatform release, it was still a live-service PlayStation Studios effort. However, the game would instead be releasing sometime next year after it was reported to face delays internally. Additionally, another product of the live-service initiative is Concord. Announced last year, it would be a new PvP-centered shooter from Firewalk Studios.

At the May 2024 State of Play, Concord shared its first glimpse of gameplay revealing an August release date for the game. You can watch the gameplay trailer in the video below:

“In Concord, you play as the crew of the Northstar—a group of guns-for-hire known in our galaxy as Freegunners.  The Freegunners roam the stars taking high-stakes jobs on worlds across Wild space, where they face other fiercely competitive Freegunner crews. From match-to-match, you’ll form your team of Freegunners with other players and battle it out with rival crews to take home the reward across a variety of maps and modes.” 

“We built Concord as a love-letter to aspirational sci-fi adventure, inspired by our favorite art, anime, films, and TV series,” game director Ryan Ellis writes. “Combined with our deep love of multiplayer, we’re dedicated to creating those had-to-be-there, down to the wire moments with your friends and creating a sense of adventure as you discover more about the galaxy, the characters you play as, and the worlds you visit every time you log on.”
