"We have decided to take the game offline beginning September 6th, 2024, and explore options, including those that will better reach our players," says Concord Game Director Ryan Ellis. This move comes after disappointing sales and player engagement, as the game only peaked at 697 players on Steam. The team recognizes this shortfall and aims to consider alternative strategies to connect with the player base moving forward. They express gratitude towards their players while exploring what's next for Concord.
"Concord launched as a $40 game after eight years of development, and went up against many free-to-play alternatives like Overwatch and even Valorant. It has ultimately failed to compete as a paid game, especially without a unique selling point," highlighting the challenges faced in a saturated market. This context sheds light on why Concord's sales fell so short and indicates the need to rethink the game's business model to align better with current market trends.
