The PlayStation State of Play 2024 has introduced us to a bunch of brand-new games including a 5v5 first-person shooter, Concord developed by Firewalk Studios. With the announcement at the State of Play, we also saw a cinematic trailer and some action-packed gameplay footage. Let’s take a look at the details we noticed from the trailer and gameplay footage.
Let’s talk about the Cinematic Trailer. Sometimes games can disappoint you after showing stunning visuals in the cinematic trailer but failing to display the same graphical prowess in the game. This is not the case with Concord as the visuals in the gameplay footage equally match the pedigree of the visuals in the cinematic trailer.
Concord being a 5v5 first-person shooter, you might think that the game does not have any storyline, however, the name of the game comes the name of the Galaxy in this game. The playable characters are also known as Freegunners who are part of the group called Northstar. Each Freegunner will come with their own set of weapons and abilities. It has been confirmed that the game will have 16 Freegunners divided into 5 classes:
- Warden
- Anchor
- Ranger
- Breacher
- Tactician
It is unclear what game modes will be available on the release date but we hope for more details soon as PlayStation has confirmed that they will be “unwrapping more in the coming weeks and months” in their blog post for the game. PlayStation has also confirmed the launch date – August 23, 2024.
Nowhere did we come to know if the game was going to be free-to-play or not. However, the launch trailer does notify that pre-orders will be commencing on June 6, 2024.
