Concord launches today on PS5 and PC – 5v5 action, training mode, time trials and more – PlayStation.Blog

Hello everyone. We are excited to share with you what we have Concord* is now available worldwide on PS5 and PC. So gather your crew and queue up to defeat your rivals, earn cosmetic items, and explore the Concord Galaxy. To celebrate this moment, we’re thrilled to present our brand new launch trailer for the game.

Your adventure begins

Launch is just the first step, and now that Concord is live, your adventure is just beginning! During our first week and every week after, we’ll be debuting our weekly in-game cinematics. These short cinematics expand on the characters and universe of Concord. We can’t wait for you to learn more about the North Star crew, their journey, and of course, their tidy ship in the weeks to come.

As you begin your adventure in Concord, you’ll be able to start expanding your character roster with the first unlockable variant for Teo, a former elite soldier turned free gunner for the Northstar crew. Like all variants in Concord, this unlockable Teo variant will grant you a new cosmetic outfit for Teo and a unique combat trait that modifies his skills and abilities – in this case, giving you additional grenades to deploy in combat. You can use these to clear areas on the map for your team or just make fights a little chaotic. You can expect us to introduce a new variant every week for you to earn and add to your collection.

Evolving the experience

Continuing to grow and evolve Concord alongside our community as we release regular, seasonal content updates is a very important part of this process. We looked at all of your feedback following last month’s beta, including your questions about solo modes, penalties for quitting, participation in progress, and more. We’re excited to share that many of your frequently requested features are available for launch.

With the game launching today, you’ll be able to learn about some of our Freegunners and gameplay mechanics in-game with a solo training mode as well as special time trials. We also listened to your suggestions during the beta about having a way to test out the Freegunners, their weapons, and their abilities before starting a match, so based on your feedback, we’ll be releasing a new Practice Range feature based on your input. The team also made several changes to make crew bonuses more apparent during character selection and in the Crew Creator based on your feedback.

The story of the Concord galaxy, the Freegunners, and what awaits you in the Savage Land will also be expanded with the debut of the Galactic Guide, an interactive map that will unlock new story entries as you play and progress through the game. We can’t wait for you to learn more about the universe, worlds, and characters of Concord.

Ensuring that teams are complete is crucial in a multiplayer experience. Following the beta, we’re excited to say that penalties for completing teams, joining in progress, and leaving the team are now live in Concord with this week’s launch, and will help incentivize players to start (and stay) in full teams. This is just the start of our updates and improvements to the social experience, and we can’t wait to share more with you in the weeks and months ahead.
