Concord, the debut title from Firewalk Studios, has been pulled from stores and shut down due to poor sales. This decision comes after the game’s underwhelming launch, despite initial enthusiasm from PlayStation, who partnered with Firewalk in 2021 and later acquired the studio in 2023.
The shutdown of Concord raises questions about the game’s development and launch strategy. Was the game’s failure inevitable, or could it have been avoided with a different approach? The release date, premium price tag, and short marketing campaign all seemed to work against the game.
The story of Concord serves as a cautionary tale for game developers, highlighting the importance of careful planning and execution. It also raises questions about the role of publishers and the impact of their decisions on game development.
