Concord Devs Tinker with PC Files, Spurring Free-to-Play Speculation | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

We haven't heard much from the Concord front in recent days, likely because it functionally no longer exists. Still, there is plenty of interest amongst the PlayStation faithful as to what developer Firewalk's ultimate fate will be, and the always-watching SteamDB has detected some small movement.

Now, we don't speak PC and thus don't understand what it all means, but irregularly, since being pulled offline and as recently as yesterday, changes have been made to Concord's game files on Steam (thanks, PSLS). Inevitably, this leads to community speculation (if not interest) that there's life in the game yet, that Concord could be gearing up to go free-to-play. However, it's doubtful that anything could scrub the stink off the allegedly hugely costly flop at this late stage. Regardless, we'll continue to monitor the situation.

Allegedly Sony's most expensive first-party game ever

Would you check out Concord if it was free-to-play? Would you spend money on cosmetic skins for all your favourite characters? Is the Sony that believed Concord was the «future of PlayStation» game enough to try again? Let us know in the comments section below.

I’ll check it out if it’s free to play. Can’t promise I’ll stay long. Definitely won’t spend money on it.

If true I had a feeling it would happen. No way they would waste all that time just to move onto another project. This is their first game right?

Concordians, we are so back

@Nepp67 @Doctor_BK I'll have a look if it goes free to play. This is how it should have launched anyway. I have no problem if a game is free
