Set in a vibrant original sci-fi universe, Concord is a new team-based shooter where you assume the role of the crew of the Northstar – a group of misfits, outlaws and adventurers working as guns-for-hire. 

Handpick your personal roster of Freegunners and team up with friends and fellow mercenaries online to take on rival crews across spectacular worlds in the Wilds of space in a range of objective and respawn-based modes.

Concord is a bringing together of peoples. It’s the power of games to build connection and inspire social play.

Concord fans — we’ve been listening closely to your feedback since the launch of Concord on PlayStation 5 and PC and want to thank everyone who has joined the journey aboard the Northstar. Your support and the passionate community that has grown around the game has meant the world to us.

However, while many qualities of the experience resonated with players, we also recognize that other aspects of the game and our initial launch didn’t land the way we’d intended. Therefore, at this time, we have decided to take the game offline beginning September 6, 2024, and explore options, including those that will better reach our players.

While we determine the best path ahead, Concord sales will cease immediately and we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased the game for PS5 or PC. If you purchased the game for PlayStation 5 from the PlayStation Store or PlayStation Direct, a refund will be issued back to your original payment method.

Customers who purchased from other digital storefronts will also be refunded. More information about refunds from Steam and Epic can be found below:

• Steam Store – Steam Store will refund players who bought the game over the coming days. Steam will send confirmation of the refund once it has been processed.
• Epic Games Store – Epic Games Store will refund players who bought the game over the coming days and will contact each customer directly to confirm that the refund has been processed.
• Other retailer refunds – For customers who have purchased a physical copy at a retailer location outside of PlayStation directly, please refer to the refund process of the retailer you purchased it from to obtain your refund.   

Once refunded, players will no longer have access to the game. 

We’ll keep you updated and thank you again to all the Freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy.

* Refunds for PlayStation Store and PlayStation Direct purchases may take 30-60 days to appear on your bank statement. If your original payment source was unavailable, the purchase amount will be refunded to your PSN wallet.

Game Director, Firewalk Studios

The Firewalk Studios team is driven by the type of exciting, unexpected moments and shared experiences that multiplayer games create.

Every time you log on is the beginning of a new adventure and every match is an opportunity for a new story.

It’s these ideals that define Concord, its unique universe of vibrant worlds, and its rich cast of colorful characters.

Key Features:

• PUT TOGETHER YOUR CREW: From powerful mystics and towering robots to skilled gunslingers and helpful healers, each Freegunner of the Northstar crew brings their own unique skills, personality, and abilities that cater to a wide-range of playstyles. Create your own custom squads of Freegunners to bring an arsenal of different role types to the match or focus on your favorite characters to master their gameplay and unlock unique modifiers, cosmetics, background lore, and more – you decide when to play your characters and how you impact the match.
• ADVENTURE EVERY MATCH: Each match is a new adventure as you team up with friends online and take on rival Freegunner crews to complete high-stakes jobs across the Concord galaxy in online PVP modes. As you play, complete daily and weekly challenges from the Job Board to earn progression, unlock new items for your Freegunners, and learn more about the characters, worlds, and factions in the Concord Galaxy with the Galactic Guide. Win or lose, every match offers rewarding progression.
• MODES FOR EVERY MOOD: With an array of objective and respawn-based modes with emphasis on teamplay, Concord has six different PVP modes that let you determine the level of challenge you are looking for – whether to unwind with a few matches or team up with friends for a more competitive experience.
• NORTHSTAR CREW STORIES: As your journey in Concord unfolds, so will the stories of the Northstar crew. Each week, you will be greeted by new cinematic vignettes that premiere in-game that deliver ongoing narratives that expand upon the characters and their adventures.
• AN EXPANDING UNIVERSE: The crew of the Northstar and the galaxy of Concord will grow through regular post-launch updates that introduce new Freegunners, game modes, maps and worlds, and weekly cinematic vignettes for no additional cost.
• BUILT FOR PS5 AND PC: Concord features seamless cross-play and cross-progression between PS5 consoles and PC, allowing you to team up with friends, enjoy all of your progress and unlocked content, and access PlayStation features – like Trophies and your PlayStation Friends list – regardless of what platform you play on. An account for PlayStation Network is required to play Concord.

Concord is coming to PS5 and PC (Steam/Epic Games Store) on August 23, 2024.
