ConcordThe New Project from Firewalk Studios, Revealed during State of Play
Concord, the latest project from Firewalk Studios, was shown for the first time during last week’s State of Play. Although we already know the first official details, many questions remain about its business model. Now, a new lead seems to reveal one of the big questions: the price.
AAA Games and Current Prizes
Currently, the AAA video games usually cost $69.99 for their standard editions; However, some titles are more affordable upon launch for various reasons. With that in mind, fans are wondering how much you’ll have to pay to play the new hero shooter from PlayStation.
ConcordPlayStation’s New Service Game, Would Cost $40
We know that the multiplayer FPS will open its pre-orders on the PS Store and on PC THE June 6, when we will know its official price; However, PlayStation’s digital store in Australia has already revealed how much it will cost.
As one ResetEra user discovered, the standard edition of Concord cost $59.95 and the Deluxe Edition is worth AU$94.95 on the Australian PS Store. Converting to dollars, the online hero shooter will have a price of $39.99 And $59.99 in the United States and other regions.
Of course, we’ll have to wait for PlayStation to share official pricing for Mexico, United States and the rest of the territories; However, these prices are in line with those of one of the most successful launches of the first half of 2024: Helldiverse 2.
Comparison with Helldivers 2
Recall that the acclaimed and popular multiplayer title of Arrowhead Game Studios is available for 39.99 USD for its standard edition and 59.99 USD for its most expensive version. It is not an exaggeration to think that Sony hope that Concord can match this success by following the same economic model.
Of course, some argue that the popularity of Helldiverse 2 is due to word-of-mouth recommendations from the community and the overall quality of the product. The less optimistic players believe that the Firewalk Studios project will have difficulty building a community.
Forecasts and Launch
It is still too early to know if Concord will meet with success, but the panorama seems, at the very least, interesting. According to a reliable Source, it will be necessary to link a PlayStation Network account to play on PC. This means that it will not be sold in countries where Sony’s service is absent.
But tell us, do you plan to give this new competitive game a chance? Send us your feedback.
Concord will be available for PC and PlayStation 5 on August 23, with a Beta period planned for sometime in July.
Final Opinion
It can be safely stated that Concord will be a major talking point in the coming months, especially with the growing anticipation among multiplayer FPS gamers. While some may doubt its ability to forge a strong community against well-established competitors, it is undeniable that Sony is banking heavily on this title. The attractive price could well work in its favor, facilitating access and encouraging more players to try this new experience. Only time will tell if Concord will manage to establish itself as a must-have of the genre.
