Firewalk Studios has unveiled Concord, a character-driven multiplayer shooter set in the vibrant Concord galaxy. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from this exciting new title:
Inspired by classic sci-fi films, anime, and TV series, Concord promises an immersive experience brimming with adventure. Firewalk Studios aims to create those unforgettable moments of shared triumph and last-minute heroics with friends, while also fostering a sense of discovery as players delve deeper into the game’s lore and diverse cast of characters.
In Concord, you step into the boots of the Northstar crew, a group of skilled mercenaries known as Freegunners. These guns-for-hire traverse the Wild Space region, taking on challenging contracts across various planets. Each match offers the opportunity to assemble your Freegunner team and compete against rival crews in a variety of game modes and maps.
Firewalk Studios emphasizes a balanced gameplay experience that feels rewarding from the start. While the core gunplay will be familiar to FPS veterans, the unique abilities and diverse roster of Freegunners encourage strategic teamwork and creative problem-solving.
Concord boasts a roster of 16 distinct Freegunners at launch, each with their own personality and gameplay style. From mystics wielding fire to towering robots and skilled sharpshooters, these characters offer something for everyone. Their abilities range from tactical tools like explosive knives and defensive domes to more strategic options like deployable walls and persistent effects that influence the entire battlefield. This variety fosters an asymmetric gameplay experience where every match feels fresh and unpredictable.
The world of Concord is rich with stories to be told. In addition to the thrilling competitive gameplay, players will have the chance to follow the narrative arc of the Northstar crew through cinematic vignettes premiering within the game on a weekly basis. These vignettes will delve into the characters’ relationships, explore life as a Freegunner, and gradually reveal the mysteries of the Concord galaxy.
Firewalk Studios is committed to expanding the Concord universe. The base game launches with 16 Freegunners, and the developer plans to introduce new playable characters, maps, modes, and cinematic content through regular post-launch updates.
