Concord, the PS5 and PC shooter from new Sony team Firewalk Studios, will deploy in 2024 – at least, that’s the plan according to a business briefing from the Japanese giant. While the firm notes that release schedules are always subject to change, it included the title’s tentative launch window in a live service slide alongside Destiny 2: The Final Shape, which is due out on 6th June.
Frankly, there’s not a lot known about Concord right now. Sony did show a cinematic teaser trailer during last year’s PS Showcase, but it stopped short of sharing any specific details, beyond the fact that this is a PvP shooter set in a sci-fi world. “Every time you log on is the beginning of a new adventure and every match is an opportunity for a new story,” director Ryan Ellis said at the time. “It’s these ideals that define Concord, its unique universe of vibrant worlds, and its rich cast of colourful characters.”
Presumably we’re going to see a lot more of the title in the coming months, especially if it’s targeting a 2024 launch. Sony will be feeling confident about the release’s chances, though: Helldivers 2, a title with a similar live service strategy, is now officially the firm’s fastest-selling game of all time.

I am not an online gamer, but I'm quietly optimistic about this one. It just needs to get it right and not take the players for granted.
Hopefully Concord can be a massive hit like HellDivers 2, just make it fun to play, not riddled with
