Concord might be back soon as mysterious Steam updates ramp up Hallie Frederick | usagoldmines.com

Harmony was, by all accounts, a tragic finish to a promising sport. Sony’s Firewalk Studios made a hero shooter aiming to rival Overwatch, however participant curiosity was nearly nonexistent. The Steam playercounts had been frightfully low, and inside weeks Harmony had been pulled from sale and refunds got out. Is that the tip of the story although? I actually hope not. I need Firewalk to get one other probability, and it appears like we’re getting a glimmer of hope.

When Firewalk introduced that Concord was being brought offline, it was a sobering second. Sony, the makers of PlayStation, pulled a multiplayer game it was publishing from sale inside weeks of launch. That’s a really massive deal, and one which could possibly be learn as a portent of issues to return. There was a light-weight on the finish of the tunnel, nonetheless, as Concord sport director Ryan Ellis wrote the next.

“At the moment, we’ve got determined to take the sport offline starting Friday September 6, 2024, and discover choices, together with these that may higher attain our gamers.”

Since then all the things’s been quiet, however beginning Monday September 30, there have been nearly each day updates within the Steam backend. It’s presently unclear what this implies, however I wouldn’t be stunned if we get some form of relaunch for Harmony in some unspecified time in the future. Sony already put quite a lot of time, effort, and cash into it, so it’s seemingly that adjustments are coming.

In keeping with a Kotaku report from final month although, Concord’s director reportedly stepped down to a assist position. The report alleges that among the Firewalk workers “are pessimistic Harmony will return,” and that “some have been requested to discover pitches for one thing fully completely different.”

Regardless of the future holds for Harmony, I hope Firewalk and Sony discover one thing that works. There’s the belief that Harmony could possibly be made free-to-play, however that raises the query of whether or not or not that might be sufficient.

Whereas we wait to see what the way forward for Harmony holds there are many the best FPS games to select by, and even some unbelievable cross-platform games that work on PC as nicely.
