Despite I agree was officially taken offline by Sony and removed from the market in what is remembered as one of the biggest debacles in the history of the gaming market, it seems that the game is not completely dead and that you continue to receive updates on Steam in the background, which make you think of a possible relaunch, perhaps as free-to-play.
This is a theory that emerged immediately, in fact: considering that paid live services have greater difficulty establishing themselves on the market, often the transition to free-to-play is a solution adopted by publishers to try to give new lifeblood to the games in crisis, so it wouldn’t be a very out of the norm move for Concord either.
The question emerges from SteamDBwhich is not exactly an official source but we are close to it: based on what is reported on the site, in recent weeks the Concord package has been modified several times, in some cases on a daily basis, by various users.
Is Firewalk preparing Concord’s return?
Various frequent changes have been applied to Concord by various entities, some of these identified as “sonyquae” or “pmtest”, which suggest possible interventions by developers, testers or quality workersperhaps within a general rework program.
Considering the high (perhaps even colossal) costs that the development of Concord entailed, it is likely that Sony intends to at least try to recover it in some way.
The game was launched on August 23rd and removed from the market practically two weeks later, once it became clear that there was no user base to justify its maintenance as a live service.
While the numbers are up for debate, Concord was rumored to cost $400 million and take eight years to develop, which would make an attempt to revive it in some form completely understandable.
