Concord, launching August 23rd, promises a robust post-launch experience. Sony and Firewalk Studios have unveiled a detailed roadmap, emphasizing continuous updates and a unique approach to progression.
Concord's Roadmap: Beyond Launch Day
Launching on August 23rd for PS5 and PC, Concord eschews the traditional Battle Pass model. Firewalk Studios prioritizes a rewarding base experience, with meaningful rewards earned through gameplay, character leveling, and job completion. This focus ensures a rich experience from day one.
Concord Season 1: The Tempest (October 2024)
Season 1, "The Tempest," arrives in October, introducing a new Freegunner, a fresh map, additional Freegunner Variants, and new cosmetics. Weekly Cinematic Vignettes will enrich the Northstar crew's storyline. An in-game store, launching alongside Season 1, will offer purely cosmetic items, enhancing customization without affecting gameplay balance.
Season 2 is planned for January 2025, signaling Firewalk's commitment to regular seasonal content drops throughout Concord's first year.
Concord Gameplay Strategies and Tips
Concord's "Crew Builder" system is key to strategic team composition. While allowing up to three copies of a Freegunner's Variants, it encourages diverse team builds. Each Freegunner, designed for high DPS and effectiveness in gunfights, falls under six roles (Anchor, Breacher, Haunt, Ranger, Tactician, Warden) impacting gameplay differently. Balancing roles unlocks Crew Bonuses, offering advantages like increased mobility or reduced cooldowns. Forget traditional Tank/Support roles; Concord emphasizes impactful contributions within the context of a gunfight.
