Firewalk removed Concord from the online platform about two weeks back, hardly a month after its original shooter game was introduced. It’s clear that the launch hasn’t been as successful as hoped. Current reports from Kotaku and Games Industry don’t indicate that the situation is improving.
Per Kotaku, Ryan Ellis, the game director of Concord, is said to have resigned and taken a supporting role. Furthermore, Games Industry notes that the future of the studio seems uncertain. Some observers believe that the studio may turn into a co-development provider and assist other Sony projects. There are fears of potential layoffs, and even a total closure doesn’t seem off the cards. These outcomes aren’t uncommon in the volatile game industry conditions.
