Summary

Less than two weeks on from the game's official release, PlayStation is taking Concord offline and pulling it from the PlayStation Store on September 6.
Concord director Ryan Ellis has admitted the game "didn’t land the way we’d intended" and has taken the game offline to "determine the best path ahead."
Refunds will be issued across all platforms, including Steam and Epic Game Store, while those who purchased the game physically can request refunds at their respective retailers.

It's been no secret that Concord has struggled to gain a foothold ever since launch, with a paltry number of players propping up the game's PC release. Steam's player numbers had alrea꧃dy dipped into double digits 🎃less than a week after launch, and matchmaking times ไfor games have been s🍰teadily growing day by day.

Concord looks t🐬o be destined for failure, and developer Firewalk Studios has now announced that it will be taking the game completely offline in an effort to try and "determine the best path ahead." Concord d🐭irector Ryan Ellis announced this news via , in which he explains the game "didn’t land the way we’d intended" and will be pulled from the PlayStation Store on September 6.

Of course, that makes Concord unplayable since it's a purely multiplayer-focused title, so refunds will be offered to anyone that purchased a copy of Concord over the past two weeks. PC players can request a refund via Steam and the Epic Game Store, while PlayStation users will be issued a refund directly. If you purchased a physical copy via a retailer, you'll need to request your refund according to their personal refund policy. Once refunded, you will no longer have access to the game.

Unfortunately, Ellis doesn't mention when the game will be made available for sale again, just that Firewalk will be using the time to "explore options" that will better reach players next time around. It doesn't sound as though this removal is permanent, and it's very likely that Firewalk may cave into the pres💃sure and relaunch the game as a free-t𒐪o-play experience.

That's just conjecture on my part though. For now, Concord will be gone on September 6, and we don't know what form it will return in. At the very least, this will be a massive blow to PlayStation's live service plans.
