After a round of beta playtests, Concord officially comes out on PC and PS5 tomorrow (there’s a slightly more expensive edition that gives you early access to the shooter now) and developer Firewalk’s lead character designer Jon Weisnewski jumped onto social media to celebrate the launch.
“Today Firewalk Studios launched Concord,” the developertweeted. “The game has been in development for around 8 years and I’ve been there for almost 5 of them. We don’t get a lot of Launch Days in our careers so today is special for a ton of reasons. Oblige me some good vibes today.”

Concord is instead gunning in a different direction, as the studio recently announced that it wouldn’t include battle passes because"you own concord, Concord doesn’t own you."
