Well, it's official, folks: Concord is gone. The hero shooter FPS launched just two weeks ago to the day, but after poor sales and lukewarm reception, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查ꦅ询:P♎layStation halted sales, refunded all copies, and now it's pulled the game offline entirely.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:After an eye-watering eꦰight years in development, Concord's abrupt and shocking cancellation makes it a stronger contender for the worst launch of 2024, and argua🀅bly one of the poorest performances of any online game of the last decade or so. I can only think of a few off the top of my head whose launch states and shutdowns overshadowed the game itself to such an overwhelming degree.
Anthem, maybe? But at least EA and BioWare tried salvaging that with post-release content and then 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a switch to seasonal updates before ultimately two years after its launch. Somewhat similarly, in 2015 Turtle Rock took a lot of heat for and the general development direction at launch, but it still stumbled through a that culminated in the scrapping of future content plans in October 2016 and, ultimately, in September 2018. There was a faint attempt at reviving the zombie shooter i🌜n October 2022 when 2K reenabled 🐓the free-to-play Evolve: Stage 2 servers, but 🦩.

I'm genuinely struggling to remember any instance where an online game of Concord's profile - that is, from a publisher as big as PlayStation - was taken down just weeks after it went live. And refunded, at that. Regardless, Concord is no longer playable and PlayStation's plans for the IP are unclear aside from the recent report claiming it'll still rather awkw꧅ardly be a part of Amazon's anthology TV series Secret Level.
In the final days of Concord's short life, it was filled wi⛎th players throwing themselves off maps as quickly as possible in a desperate attempt to unlock the game's Platinum trophy. Now that the game's offline, whoever wasn't able to snag one is presumably out of luck for good, so as we bid far♛ewell to the short-lived hero🥀 shooter, let's also pour one out for the trophy collectors who missed out.
At least we still have these picks from our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best FPS games to play.
After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, a🍒nd writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
