Summary

Concord has officially been taken offline following its shutdown announcement earlier this week, rendering the game unplayable.
Firewalk Studios made people aware of the shutdown on Twitter, thanking those "who have joined us in the Concord galaxy."
We still don't know whether Concord will return in the future, or what kind of impact this shutdown will have on Firewalk itself.

Earlier this week, the games industry was rocked, as Concord developer Firewalk Studios announced that it would be taki𒊎ng💛 the game offline and refunding all sales just two weeks after launch. It's an unprecedented move for a live service title, and an indicator as to just how woeful the game's sales were on both PC and PlayStation.

At the time, it was announced that Concord would be shut down on September 6, and that day has finally arrived. , fans were made aware that Concord's servers have now been taken offline and the game is now unplayable for existing owners.

Firewalk has also used the opportunity to thank "all the Freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy." No further information was shared about the game, such as whether it will be back at any point or how it will look when it does return, but Firewalk will probably still need to think long and hard about what's best for the studio going forward.

Concord's potential return is a bit of a mystery at the moment, as Firewalk has explained that it will now "determine the best path ahead." It feels like the game is being shut down for a considerable amount of time, toཧ then be brought back as a free to play experience once the embarrassment subsides a little, though I don't think anyone would be that shocked if Sony decides to just scrap the entire thing and call it a bad experiment.

We also don't know what kind of impact this will have on Firewalk Studios itself. We know how large video game budgets have grown these days, and shutting down a game that took close to a decade to make after just two weeks on the market will be financially devastating. You have to assume that layoffs are coming 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:given the state of the industry, so all we can do right now is cross our fingers and hope they're not too severe.
