Concord: A Gaming Hope that Declined Rapidly

Concord's Struggles in the Gaming Landscape

Last Friday, a new hero shooter, Concord, debuted on Steam, sparking excitement akin to titles like Overwatch. Developed by Firewalk Studios and published by Sony Playstation Studios, expectations were initially high. However, the reality has been disappointing with only 697 concurrent players recorded at its peak, a figure quickly diminishing ever since.

The Context of Concord's Performance

To contextualize this emerging disappointment, even the notorious flop, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum managed to achieve 758 concurrent players. Though Concord sounded promising, offering all future content for free post-purchase at a 40 Euro price tag, current reviews show 71% positivity, indicating discontent over available content.

Player Experiences and Reviews

Despite some positive feedback, many players argue that the game’s content does not justify its price, especially compared to other free-to-play hero shooters that provide better gameplay without additional purchases.
