Milestone Achieved: Concord Set to Launch with Engaging Experience and Continuous Support from Firewalk Studios

The development of Concord has spanned eight years, with its lead developer expressing enthusiasm for the future of the project. As an upcoming multiplayer shooter from Firewalk Studios, the anticipation is mounting following a recent update. Jon Weisnewski, the lead character designer, shared insights into the journey of creating this title on X / Twitter, marking an important milestone in the game’s timeline.

Weisnewski joined the team when the project was already five years in the making. Reflecting on his nearly five years of involvement, he conveyed the significance of launch days in the industry, stating this particular day is special for numerous reasons. He urged fans and followers to send some positive energy their way as they celebrate this achievement.

Currently, the hero shooter is accessible to those who obtained the Digital Deluxe Edition on PlayStation 5 and PC. It is set to be available to all players on its official release date of August 30, 2024.

Weisnewski mentioned that this launch marks just the start for Firewalk Studios, emphasizing the rich humanity and depth embedded in Concord. He expressed his desire for players to engage with the game, highlighting the team's determination to support it for many years ahead.

Interestingly, even though Concord is a live-service title, it will not feature a Battle Pass system. Firewalk's focus has been on delivering a fulfilling and engaging experience right from the start, where players can earn valuable rewards simply by playing, leveling up their characters, and completing various missions.

However, microtransactions will be present through downloadable content, providing players with the option to purchase cosmetics like character skins. Additionally, the game will introduce free content after launch, bringing new Freegunners, maps, and ongoing updates to enhance the gaming experience.
