Highlights
- Sony re-confirms PvP FPS game, Concord, releasing in 2024 for PC and PS5 with live-service approach.
- 80s sci-fi aesthetic trailer for Concord teases vibrant universe, but gameplay remains a mystery.
- Stay tuned for potential big reveal of “Concord” at the rumored upcoming PlayStation Showcase.
Sony has re-confirmed that its upcoming PvP FPS Concord is releasing for PC and PS5 later this year. It’s been nearly a year since Concord was first revealed. Promising a “vibrant sci-fi universe,” Concord was announced via a CG trailer that didn’t show any gameplay, but did establish the vibe that players can expect from the multiplayer FPS when it finally releases for PC and PS5.
The Concord reveal trailer showcased a spaceship filled with various items, including a scoped rifle. The trailer leaned heavily into 80s sci-fi aesthetics, but otherwise, it revealed very little about what the game will actually be about. Luckily, it seems like there’s a good chance that everything will be revealed in the relatively near future, so PlayStation 5 gamers should keep an eye out for more information on Concord coming soon.

PlayStation Has Acquired Another Company
Playstation Studios is further expanding its already large library of first-party content with the addition of yet another new company to its roster.
That’s because Concord is coming out in 2024. This was confirmed by Sony in a recent investor update, where it pointed to the game as one of its upcoming live-service titles. Since Concord is releasing in 2024 and next to nothing has been shown about it so far, it’s highly likely that a proper reveal for the game will come sooner rather than later. In fact, it wouldn’t be out of the question for Concord to get its big unveiling sometime later this month.
Concord Reveal Could Be Happening Soon
Rumors have been swirling about an E3-equivalent PlayStation Showcase taking place in May, and now Sony itself has teased the possibility. The Showcase still has not been officially announced at the time of this writing, but its existence is looking increasingly likely. Assuming Concord is indeed aiming for a 2024 release, one has to imagine that the game will be featured at the showcase. Then again, it’s entirely possible Sony is planning on releasing Concord in late 2024. If that’s the case, then a proper reveal for the game may not take place for a few months.
Regardless, it will definitely be exciting to learn more about Concord since the game is still a huge mystery at this point. When the game was first revealed, it was confirmed that Firewalk Studios is making it, it’s a PvP multiplayer first-person shooter game, and that it is built around “connection” and “social play.” These vague descriptors don’t give PS5 gamers much to go on, and so it will be interesting to see what Concord does that helps it stand out from the pack.
When Concord does launch, it will be just the latest live-service title from PlayStation. Live-service game Helldivers 2 has been a massive hit for Sony, blowing away expectations. If Concord is even half as popular as Helldivers 2, Sony could very well have another huge live-service game on its hands.
