Concord, which launched to underwhelming reception in August, was pulled from sale just weeks later. Yet, SteamDB records show over 20 updates since September 29th, attributed to accounts like "pmtest," "sonyqae," and "sonyqae_shipping," suggesting internal development and testing efforts.

Will Concord Become Free-to-Play?

Many believe these updates signal a potential relaunch, possibly as a free-to-play game. This would address the criticism surrounding its initial pricing.

Concord's future remains uncertain, but even a free-to-play relaunch would face stiff competition in a saturated market. For now, it remains unavailable for purchase, leaving its ultimate fate shrouded in mystery.
