Launching August 23rd, Sony and Firewalk Studios' Concord offers a compelling hero shooter experience with a robust post-launch roadmap. Discover the details below, along with expert tips to master the game.
Concord's Post-Launch Roadmap: A Continuous Adventure
No Battle Pass Required
Available August 23rd on PS5 and PC, Concord eschews the traditional Battle Pass model. Game Director Ryan Ellis emphasizes a commitment to rewarding gameplay: "Launch is just the beginning. We'll continuously support and grow the game with our players." Instead of a Battle Pass, meaningful rewards are earned through gameplay, leveling up, and completing objectives.
Season 1: The Tempest (October 2024)
October brings Season 1: The Tempest, introducing a new Freegunner, a fresh map, additional Freegunner Variants, and more cosmetic rewards. Weekly Cinematic Vignettes will enrich the Northstar crew's storyline. An in-game store will debut, offering purely cosmetic items with no gameplay impact.
Season 2 and Beyond (January 2025)
Season 2 is slated for January 2025, with Firewalk Studios promising consistent seasonal updates throughout Concord's first year. Expect a steady stream of new content.
Mastering Concord: Tips and Strategies
Concord's "Crew Builder" system allows for strategic team composition. While you can use up to three copies of any Freegunner Variant, building a diverse team across the six roles (Anchor, Breacher, Haunt, Ranger, Tactician, and Warden) unlocks powerful Crew Bonuses, enhancing mobility, recoil, cooldowns, and more. Each Freegunner is designed for high DPS, emphasizing skillful gunplay over traditional archetypes like Tank or Support. Focus on utilizing each role's unique impact on the battlefield—controlling areas, leveraging sightlines, and flanking enemies.
