Summary
Sony has re-confirmed that its upcoming PvP FPSConcordis releasing for PC and PS5 later this year. It’s been nearly a year sinceConcordwas first revealed. Promising a “vibrant sci-fi universe,“Concordwas announced via a CG trailer that didn’t show any gameplay, but did establish the vibe that players can expect from the multiplayer FPS when it finally releases for PC andPS5.
TheConcordreveal trailershowcased a spaceship filled with various items, including a scoped rifle. The trailer leaned heavily into 80s sci-fi aesthetics, but otherwise, it revealed very little about what the game will actually be about. Luckily, it seems like there’s a good chance that everything will be revealed in the relatively near future, so PlayStation 5 gamers should keep an eye out for more information onConcordcoming soon.
That’s becauseConcordis coming out in 2024. This was confirmed by Sony in a recent investor update, where it pointed to the game as one of itsupcoming live-service titles. SinceConcordis releasing in 2024 and next to nothing has been shown about it so far, it’s highly likely that a proper reveal for the game will come sooner rather than later. In fact, it wouldn’t be out of the question forConcordto get its big unveiling sometime later this month.
Concord Reveal Could Be Happening Soon
Rumors have been swirling about an E3-equivalentPlayStation Showcase taking place in May, and now Sony itself has teased the possibility. The Showcase still has not been officially announced at the time of this writing, but its existence is looking increasingly likely. AssumingConcordis indeed aiming for a 2024 release, one has to imagine that the game will be featured at the showcase. Then again, it’s entirely possible Sony is planning on releasingConcordin late 2024. If that’s the case, then a proper reveal for the game may not take place for a few months.
Regardless, it will definitely be exciting to learn the game is still a huge mystery at this point. When the game was first revealed, it was confirmed thatFirewalk Studios is making it, it’s a PvP multiplayer first-person shooter game, and that it is built around “connection” and “social play.” These vague descriptors don’t give PS5 gamers much to go on, and so it will be interesting to see whatConcorddoes that helps it stand out from the pack.
WhenConcorddoes launch, it will be just the latest live-service title from PlayStation. Live-service gameHelldivers 2 has been a massive hitfor Sony, blowing away expectations. IfConcordis even half as popular asHelldivers 2, Sony could very well have another huge live-service game on its hands.
PS5
Sony’s PlayStation 5 is part of the ninth console generation and debuted with a launch lineup that included Demon’s Souls and Astro’s Playroom. The console comes with a Blu-ray disc, although a digital-only edition is also available for a cheaper price.
