Concord goes to be a recreation for the historical past books, simply not the type of historical past that Sony would have most well-liked. After debuting to dismal gross sales slightly below two weeks in the past, Sony made the decision to tug the plug on Concord and delist the title. However within the restricted time that the sport has left, gamers are attempting to get a uncommon Platinum trophy by repeatedly killing their very own characters in Concord’s Rivalry matches.
By way of IGN, Rivalry was supposed to offer two groups of 5 gamers a best-of-seven contest to find out the winner. However since each groups get expertise factors for collaborating, gamers have taken to right away leaping off platforms to their demise. It provides the rival group a win, but it surely additionally helps degree up the losers as nicely.
In principle, developer Firewalk Studios might have added changes to Concord that will have made the team-suicide tactic much less interesting to gamers by taking away the profit. However for the reason that title is just going to be on-line for a further two days, it is extraordinarily unlikely that challenge will likely be addressed in any respect. The actual query is whether or not gamers have sufficient time to grind their strategy to that Platinum trophy earlier than Concord is pulled.
Sony clearly had grand ambitions for Concord, and the corporate even lent out the potential franchise to an episode of Secret Stage, Prime Video’s upcoming online game anthology collection that may premiere in December. Because the recreation itself can have been offline for months by that point, Concord’s highlight episode will get to be the final reminder of what might have been… at the least for the individuals who aren’t chasing that trophy.
Concord will likely be taken offline by Sony on September 6. It stays to be seen if it can return, and what kind that will take.
