Concord is a Huge Risk for PlayStation Jun 04, 2024

Show notes

Concord was a highly anticipated live service title coming from PlayStation and Firewalk Studios but, now that we've seen it and know what it is - it just looks like an unnecessary risk. The Hero shooter genre is not only oversaturated but may be reaching the end of its peak in popularity. Concord is an upcoming first-person hero shooter game developed by Firewalk Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The game is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5 and Windows.
