The Sony hero shooter was shut down today, but it’s set to appear again in an Amazon TV show.
Sometimes a great TV tie-in can give a game a popularity boost—The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 both got Netflix bumps—but it doesn’t seem likely that an upcoming TV short based on the world of Concord will have the same effect, given that the hero shooter can’t even be purchased anymore. Sony and developer Firewalk are taking Concord offline this week after a dismal player turnout; it didn’t even crack 1,000 concurrents on Steam.
In a deal that must’ve happened well before any of us even knew about Concord, however, Sony secured its inclusion in upcoming Prime Video anthology series Secret Level, whose 15 episodes are each inspired by a different game or games. The series will premiere this December.
Firewalk says it’s going to „explore options“ for bringing Concord back, but games that are completely un-launched like this often don’t return, and Concord may join the graveyard where Anthem, Crucible, and Artifact are interred.
