Concord is a 5v5 first-person shooter that feels late to the party

During Sony’s May 30 2024 State of Play, developer Firewalk Studios detailed its upcoming 5v5 PvP-focused FPS called Concord. Originally , this is the first concrete details we’ve seen about Concord since. After starting with a nearly 5-minute long cinematic trailer that gave massive Guardians of the Galaxy vibes, we got a roughly 2-minute long gameplay trailer that looked a lot like Overwatch.

Players take on the role of a Freegunner and join their teammates to take on rival Freegunner crews in space heists across six different 5v5 PvP modes that take places on a variety of planets and exotic maps on those planets. There seems to be some pretty interesting variety between the characters, but the genre feels so overdone at this point I can’t help but wonder if Concord is a bit late to the party.

Concord is a PlayStation 5 console exclusive but will also launch on PC, though despite the recent Helldivers 2 fiasco, Concord will in fact require a PlayStation Network account to be played on PC. Those interested in taking on the role of a Freegun💮ner and jumping into the 5v5 PvP gameplay will have t🥀he opportunity to do so when the Early Access beta drops on June 6, 2024, with the full release scheduled for August 23, 2024.
