Concord’s Director Steps Down: What’s Next for Firewalk Studios?
Hey there, fellow gamers! It’s your trusty game news reporter here with some juicy updates from the gaming world. So, buckle up and get ready for the latest scoop on Concord and Firewalk Studios.
A Rocky Start for Concord
So, you’ve probably heard by now that Ryan Ellis, the Director of Concord, has decided to step down after the game’s disastrous launch last month. I mean, it was so bad that Sony had to yank it off the shelves and give everyone who bought it a refund. Ouch, talk about a rough start, right?
Since then, it’s been crickets from the Concord camp. No word on what’s next for the game or the folks over at Firewalk Studios who got hit hard by this whole fiasco. According to Kotaku, Ellis, who used to work on Destiny 2 at Bungie, is still hanging around but in a more supportive role now. Hmm, interesting turn of events, don’t you think?
The Future of Firewalk and Concord
Now, here’s where things get really interesting. With Sony keeping mum about the whole situation, rumors are flying left and right. I mean, they poured tons of cash and time into making Concord, so it’s hard to believe they’d just toss it aside, especially when the core gameplay is so darn fun. Seriously, the shooting mechanics and character loadouts were top-notch. Our review even gave it an 8/10, so you know it’s the real deal.
But here’s the kicker – turns out players weren’t too keen on dropping 34.99 pounds for a PvP-only game. So, the big question now is, will Firewalk pivot to a free-to-play model? It’s a tough call, and it won’t happen overnight. They’d have to figure out what to lock behind paywalls, how to handle in-game currencies, and whether to roll out future content in a season pass. It’s a whole new game plan, for sure.
What’s Next for Concord?
So, what’s on the horizon for Concord? Will it make a comeback, or is it game over for good? There’s talk of giving it away to PlayStation Plus subscribers, but that leaves PC players out in the cold. And let’s not forget about the possibility of Firewalk shifting focus to other PlayStation Studios or even facing layoffs and closure.
But hey, we’re staying optimistic here. Concord has potential, and with the right tweaks and timing, it could be a hit. Fingers crossed for a comeback!
In Conclusion
And there you have it, folks – the latest on Concord and Firewalk Studios. Keep your controllers charged and your eyes peeled for more updates on this rollercoaster ride of a story. Who knows, maybe we’ll see Concord rise from the ashes and conquer the gaming world once again. Stay tuned, gamers!
