Sony has made a big bet on Concord, a first-person action game based on the classic player-versus-player model that lets you choose between different characters, each with their own characteristics and abilities. Nothing we haven’t seen in other games of the same genre, such as the already veteran Overwatch, to give a well-known example.

Although Sony tried to make Concord a benchmark, the truth is that in the end the game ended up being generic and disliked from the start. The number of players it registered during the pre-launch testing phase was already a foreshadowing of the huge sales hit the game was to have. It was a chronicle of a foretold deathand that’s exactly what happened.

Just ten days later After launch, Sony confirmed on their official blog that they would no longer market Concord and that the game would disappear entirely. starting September 6the date the servers will also be closed.

What happens to the game

Well right now it looks like it’s just going away, although I’ve seen some rumors saying that Sony might use content developed for spin and restart as a free-to-play game with micropayments. Maybe it will eventually have some success under this model, but nothing can be guaranteed.

The game was 8 years in development and consumed a significant amount of resources, making it one of the biggest failures Sony has made in recent years. With that in mind, I think it makes a lot of sense to consider “reviving” the game as a free-to-play title, as it would allow the Japanese company to try to recoup some money.
