As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must admit that I’m both excited and a tad skeptical about Concord. The game has had a rocky start, but the open beta provided a glimmer of hope for those who played it. I can’t help but feel a sense of deja vu with the controversy surrounding its PC release, reminding me of Helldivers 2.
As a dedicated gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled about Sony’s latest release, Concord, which is poised to make its grand entrance on both the PS5 and PC platforms simultaneously. This move echoes the strategy adopted with Helldivers 2, and I hope we see more of this dual-platform approach in the future. The clock is ticking down to the official release date and time for Concord, but if you’re eager to get a head start, there’s an early access option available for a little extra cost.
Since its initial unveiling during State of Play earlier this year, the multiplayer game’s journey has been quite a rollercoaster ride. The open beta results were underwhelming, fueling speculation that the game might not fare well upon release. However, it seems the main criticism leveled against the game is its price tag. Interestingly, the developers have clarified that there will be no battle pass system in place and rewards can be unlocked merely by playing the game.
It’s intriguing to anticipate the complete rollout of Concord, as the open beta seemed to paint a grim picture. However, those who participated in the beta assure us it’s quite enjoyable. For those looking forward to the game, the countdown to the release date and time is almost at an end.
Concord release date
Concord’s official launch date has been set for the 23rd of August, as announced during State of Play earlier this spring on May xx.
When intending to play games on your PC, it’s important to note that Sony has mandated that a PlayStation Network (PSN) account will be necessary for some titles. This decision seems to have been made in light of the debacle surrounding Helldivers 2.
Regardless if you prefer playing on console or PC, you can rejoice since crossplay is an option available. This means players from different platforms can interact, making it a standard feature that’s highly valued in multiplayer games.
