Concord Cancelled

[Sweeper]

Concord fans — we’ve been listening closely to your feedback since the launch of Concord on PlayStation 5 and PC and want to thank everyone who has joined the journey aboard the Northstar. Your support and the passionate community that has grown around the game has meant the world to us.

However, while many qualities of the experience resonated with players, we also recognize that other aspects of the game and our initial launch didn’t land the way we’d intended. Therefore, at this time, we have decided to take the game offline beginning September 6, 2024, and explore options, including those that will better reach our players.

While we determine the best path ahead, Concord sales will cease immediately and we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased the game for PS5 or PC. If you purchased the game for PlayStation 5 from the PlayStation Store or PlayStation Direct, a refund will be issued back to your original payment method.

Customers who purchased from other digital storefronts will also be refunded. More information about refunds from Steam and Epic can be found below:

Steam Store – Steam Store will refund players who bought the game over the coming days. Steam will send confirmation of the refund once it has been processed.

Epic Games Store – Epic Games Store will refund players who bought the game over the coming days and will contact each customer directly to confirm that the refund has been processed.

Other retailer refunds – For customers who have purchased a physical copy at a retailer location outside of PlayStation directly, please refer to the refund process of the retailer you purchased it from to obtain your refund.

Once refunded, players will no longer have access to the game.

We’ll keep you updated and thank you again to all the Freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy.

Good news for the two thousand people that bought the game.

might be the new speedrun record for live service game that got canned

Making a live service game without horny appeal... A rookie mistake

 

[Softgels]

8 years & 200 mil down the drain

I'm kinda surprised that sony aborted concord. I would guessed that they'd first try something like going free to play or dump couple million more try to fix some core issues. Gamers will eat almost any slop. I think just swapping the characters with big booba anime girls would have saved.

But thank you Sony. The joke might have costed you hundreds of millions but I was entertained.

 

[Necrensha]

Imagine spending 8 years of your life on this thing, just to be remembered as the biggest flop of all time.
Sony must be polishing that guillotine.

 

[Drichi]

They've made history.... as the biggest videogame flop ever. Even more than atari's ET.

i'm loling

There has to be at least 1 very confused concord fan out there, the type of person who doesn't follow any gaming news, wondering what the hell just happened.

And how is it different / any worse than 654334 other soulless hero shooters with shitty art?

 

[lightbane]

That escalated quickly... Or should I say: De-escalated?

 

[Baron Dupek]

why people care about this shit and why so many news pops out about it?

meanwhile Jane Raymond's game is doing fine

One of the company's upcoming titles is Fairgame$, a multiplayer extraction game developed by Jade Raymond, former producer of Assassin's Creed. Although we still don't have much information about the project, it seems that internally it's going well.
The information came from Chris Dring, a journalist for the Games Industry portal. According to him, internal talks at Sony about Fairgame$ are very positive, with the studio committed to making the game work and providing ongoing support.

I've heard good things about Jade Raymond's game, Fairgame$, I've heard good things about it. So I know people are a bit skeptical about the trailer, but I've heard that the internal conversations about it are very positive. These other projects, which I assume are the ones they're focusing on, are the ones they're going to bet on. They're going to launch it, they're going to support it and try to make it work.

What's more, he claims that Sony was already worried about Concord before its release. During the Summer Games Fest, the majority opted to test Astro Bot and LEGO Horizon Adventures instead of Concord, which would have shaken internal confidence in the project.

she's doing fine too
for a 49yo

 

[rubinstein]

Impressive. Very nice...
Now lets see Emaris design

 

[Tyranicon]

Oh shit

 

[Blutwurstritter]

It seems their stay on the gaming stage was rather cut short,

 

[Frank Capicoli]

why people care about this shit and why so many news pops out about it?

Do you not enjoy observing the people working to intentionally destroy every facet of quality fail at least in trying to market their slop?

 

[I eat frozen vegetables]

Battleborn was more successful than this.

 

[Echo Mirage]

Once more the modern audience that this game was made for failed to appear. It’s almost like that audience doesn’t really exist.

 

[Raapys]

Presumably they're refunding instead of abandoning so they can delist and re-release it at a later point?

 

[911 Jumper]

$100m+ in costs and around eight years in development, but this thot thinks Sony didn't believe in it.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Wasting Sony's money is inherently an act of great heroism.

 

[Dark Souls II]

Soyrim, Soyfield and Soyberpunk faggots about to tell everyone Soycord can still be a good game if you just wait 15 years and install 9231 mods.

 

[luj1]

lmao they even have pronouns
