It's the end of an era as Concord's flight comes to a close. Sony's recent announcement that they are taking the game offline has sent players into a frenzy as they race to achieve the coveted platinum trophy before it's too late.
Despite the fact that Concord is no longer available for purchase, those who already own it on PlayStation 5 or PC can still play until its servers shut down on Friday, September 6. This has prompted dedicated players to do everything in their power to earn the platinum trophy before the game disappears forever.
With the uncertainty of Concord's future, players are pulling out all the stops in these final days. In a strange turn of events, some have resorted to a bizarre tactic of jumping off the map in the Rivalry game modes in order to quickly gain experience points. This rush to level up is crucial for achieving the platinum trophy, as it requires earning all 51 trophies and reaching Freegunner reputation level 100.
As seen in clips shared on Twitter, it's become a common occurrence for players to end matches early by sacrificing themselves, resulting in a grim yet efficient way to earn XP. This desperate strategy speaks to the game's struggling player base and lack of unique appeal.
But even as Concord faces its untimely demise, it will still live on in other forms. The IP is set to have its own dedicated episode in Amazon's upcoming anthology show, Secret Level, which will also feature adaptations of popular games like God of War and Pac-Man.
This inclusion in the series is a testament to the misguided expectations Sony had for Concord as a hero shooter. But it also leaves room for the possibility of a comeback, as the show's release on December 10 could serve as a platform for a potential relaunch.
Secret Level, created by Deadpool director Tim Miller, will also feature short stories based on other beloved games such as Mega Man, Armored Core, Dungeons & Dragons, Sifu, Spelunky, and Unreal Tournament.
So the question remains, will Concord ever make a return? Only time will tell. In the meantime, players can stay updated on any potential developments by following the game's social media accounts and signing up for their newsletter.
