First-person shooters dominate the esports world. Overwatch, VALORANT, Apex Legends, Counter-Strike and Call of Duty are household names for avid gamers. In 2024, a new challenger joins their ranks: Firewalk Studios is releasing its debut space-themed FPS, Concord, this summer on PlayStation and PC. Let's explore everything we know about the game, its characters and its futuristic space-odyssey world.
Concord is an upcoming first-person shooter (FPS). It is the game developer Firewalk Studios' debut project. It has a science-fiction theme set in the Concord galaxy: a world of aliens, fantastic planets and superhuman enhancements. Concord utilizes a 5v5 combat format, and players act as 'Freegunners', an intergalactic mercenary group. These Freegunners travel on a ship called the Northstar, battle other Freegunner squads and compete for bounty rewards across various maps and modes.
Concord has familiar and intuitive first-person shooter mechanics but combines them with abilities that impact gameplay. For example, Freegunners may have "walls of fire", "bullet-blocking domes" or even "trash bombs". Concord promises sixteen Freegunners to choose from at release with each fitting a different playstyle. We currently know five Freegunners' identities: Vale, Haymar, Star Child, Lennox and a robot named 1-Off.
