Sony recently stated that the PlayStation hero shooter Concord will be discontinued on September 6, 2024, and that all players will receive a complete refund.
"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," director Ryan Ellis said in a statement posted on the
PlayStation Blog.
Analysts told IGN that since its
launch, which was a complete failure, it has probably only sold 25,000 units.
It launched to a disastrous 697 peak concurrent players on Steam, making the
12,786 players of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League—which caused a $200
million revenue blow and was labeled a letdown by Warner Bros. Discovery boss
David Zaslav—look like giants.
This is the result of eight years of development and perhaps hundreds or maybe millions of dollars invested by Sony, a business that is already reportedly moving away from a future heavily reliant on live services. Only six of the twelve live service games that are now under production will be released, according to Sony President Hiroki Totoki; one The Last of Us-based game has already been scrapped.
