Concord's Legacy: From Windows Games to Amazon's Secret Level
Concord’s Legacy Unfolding
Earlier this week, Sony announced that Concord, its latest AAA live-service game, was shutting down after just 14 days. But while Concord on PlayStation 5 and PC might be dead, it’s been reported that it will live on as an episode in Secret Level, Amazon’s upcoming video game-themed anthology series.
What Went Wrong?
Announced last year, Concord was formally revealed in May to negative reactions online. Its fun gameplay was overshadowed by a $40 price tag and online-only PvP struggles. The game struggled to attract an audience on Steam and PS5, leading to the announcement by Sony on September 3 that it would be shutting down.
The Future of Concord
Despite speculation regarding the fate of Concord's episode, a source from IGN confirmed it will air as planned in December. It’s set to be a bittersweet moment for developers who poured effort into this sci-fi shooter. Secret Level will feature 15 episodes based on various video games, including iconic titles like God of War, Spelunky, Sifu, and Unreal Tournament.
This episode may have originally been intended to market Concord post-launch, expanding on its lore and reaching new players. Now, it serves as a reminder of a game that briefly captured attention.
