Concord was a pretty huge disaster for both PlayStation and developer Firewalk Studios. After failing to make a splash and draw in players upon launch, with the game regularly falling to double-digit player counts on Steam, the game was almost immediately pulled from both PlayStation and PC storefronts, with all paying customers issued automatic refunds.
That much of a disaster would be tough for any studio to come out unscathed, and rumors were circling about Firewalk bracing for potential layoffs as a result of Concord's failure. However, it seems as though Sony has taken even more drastic actions than that, and has now decided to shut down Firewalk Studios completely, first reported by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier.
Schreier announced that Firewalk was being shut down via his Twitter account earlier today, which was very quickly followed up by an official announcement from PlayStation Studios.
Concord is an upcoming FPS from Firewalk Studios, part of the PlayStation Studios family. A PvP multiplayer title, it is slated for launch on both PS5 and PC in 2024.
