We see launch as just the beginning. The beginning of not only the vision we\u2019ve set out for Concord, but also the beginning of how we support and grow the game with our players.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The base game is a foundation for us to build upon over time, through systems that will expand the universe, introduce new ways to play and master each character, give you hundreds of unique rewards to earn and unlock, and narratives to unfold week after week, alongside seasonal updates that will introduce new characters, new maps and worlds, new modes, new stories, new features, and more.*<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">As we look ahead to launch, here\u2019s a glimpse of what\u2019s to come in Concord:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Concord Season 1 launching this October<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">From the very beginning, we wanted Concord to be a complete experience, where all core content is available to you on day-one and moving forward\u2014not gated behind paid expansions or a Battle Pass. We take your investment in the game seriously and want to ensure that we bring all players along for the journey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Our first major content drop will arrive in October with the launch of Concord Season 1: The Tempest. Season 1 will mark the introduction of a brand new playable Freegunner, as well as a brand-new map, new Freegunner Variants, more earnable cosmetics and rewards, and a new season of weekly Cinematic Vignettes that will continue the story of the Northstar crew.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/concord-launch-and-the-adventure-ahead.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/concord-launch-and-the-adventure-ahead.jpg\" alt=\"This image shows the season roadmap for Concord. On Aug 23, the game will launch with 6 modes and 12 maps, 16 Freegunners and 8 Variants. There will be hundreds of rewards to unlock and customise your Freegunners with and the ability to unlock Variants to expand your playstyle. Alongside this, there will be Solo Training and Time Trial modes. Build crews for every mode and mood, and stack crew bonuses round over round. Season 1 drops in October, Season 2 January 2025. Both will see a new Freegunner, new map, new Variants, QoL updates, new cosmetics and rewards, and new vignettes.\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">With season 1, we\u2019ll also be introducing an in-game store for those looking to personalize their Freegunners further with additional customization items and to continue to support the game. These will supplement the hundreds of rewards earnable through progression and will be solely cosmetic, optional, and have no gameplay impact.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slider\">\n<div class=\"slider-controls\">\n<div class=\"slider-arrows\"><button aria-controls=\"cc3112ec-b6d8-41a7-aef7-c8b59c3a46c6\" aria-label=\"Previous slide\" class=\"slider-arrow slider-arrow-prev\" type=\"button\"><svg focusable=\"false\" height=\"40\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 40\" width=\"40\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"m15.5 0.932-4.3 4.38 14.5 14.6-14.5 14.5 4.3 4.4 14.6-14.6 4.4-4.3-4.4-4.4-14.6-14.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><button aria-controls=\"cc3112ec-b6d8-41a7-aef7-c8b59c3a46c6\" aria-label=\"Next slide\" class=\"slider-arrow slider-arrow-next\" type=\"button\"><svg focusable=\"false\" height=\"40\" viewBox=\"0 0 40 40\" width=\"40\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"m15.5 0.932-4.3 4.38 14.5 14.6-14.5 14.5 4.3 4.4 14.6-14.6 4.4-4.3-4.4-4.4-14.6-14.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"slider-count\">1\/9<\/div>\n<p><span aria-live=\"polite\" class=\"screen-reader-text\">Now showing slide 1 of 9<\/span><button class=\"slider-toggle is-mounted\" type=\"button\">Show all<\/button><\/div>\n<div class=\"splide\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\" id=\"cc3112ec-b6d8-41a7-aef7-c8b59c3a46c6\">\n<div class=\"splide__list\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slide splide__slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-394764\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/71e5d7dda0695baf87f61e4125cac269e65688d8.mp4\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slide splide__slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-394765\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/6a35e96482c2d20ec340f9b2bb62e1ab055c5def.mp4\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slide splide__slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-394766\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/0ab5b4a6f28de06df6fca8c12841368d942a769b.mp4\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slide splide__slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-394767\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/51514455d9e30456132e8d20b81ccfe7fa83c4b5.mp4\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slide splide__slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-394768\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/53bce9626938d473795cc9e3a812a95ec7297dc0.mp4\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slide splide__slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-394769\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/d8d03839ff257fc635ed74377b4adc25796a7706.mp4\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slide splide__slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-394770\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/450db2fae685920f042ddd408f1ca15c290d636f.mp4\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slide splide__slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-394771\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/fbffaa5707c1858e215b580faaa23e939e752256.mp4\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-playstation-content-slide splide__slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-video-394772\"><video data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ee5341dc6319ca17c00fca260d300c27790a8554.mp4\" preload=\"metadata\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1280 \/ 720;\" autoplay controls loop muted playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"\">We\u2019re also hard at work on future seasons, beginning with Season 2 launching in January 2025 and more seasonal drops throughout year one of Concord. We can\u2019t wait to fully unpack what we have in store for Season 1 ahead of its launch in October.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The continuous evolution of your crew<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">When we first formed Firewalk, we thought a lot about the type of game that we wanted to make and what we could add to the multiplayer FPS genre. We knew we had to focus on the fundamentals that can make an FPS game great: precise, responsive gunplay and fast, fluid mobility. Those qualities had to be the bedrock of everything.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">However, we also wanted that special spice provided by character abilities. Beyond the impact their abilities, roles, and kits could have in moment-to-moment combat, we saw exciting opportunities to add strategic layers to how and when you choose to deploy them throughout a match. In effect, we wanted to infuse the theorycrafting of a deck builder with a PVP first-person shooter. This became the root of our Crew Builder system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Crew Builder allows you to create Custom Crews of Freegunners that you bring into a match. Every Custom Crew offers 12 configurable slots, which you can fill with characters from what will become a growing roster of Freegunners and their Variants. Each Freegunner will have multiple Variants, which are unique versions of each character that have special modifiers to their base abilities and can be unlocked by completing various in-game challenges.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/concord-launch-and-the-adventure-ahead-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/concord-launch-and-the-adventure-ahead-1.jpg\" alt=\"This image shows the Freegunner selection screen, with the list of Crew Bonuses that are now applied to your Freegunner running down the left of the screen.\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Each Custom Crew must have five unique Freegunners, but you can stack up to three copies of any given Freegunner\u2019s Variants, empowering you to really focus on specific characters that you like to play as and that align best with the broader makeup of your team, the modes you\u2019re playing, or your general playstyle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">However, while Crew Builder enables you to hone your own unique approach to combat strategy, it\u2019s also meant to inspire experimentation with different characters as well. Each Custom Crew comes with four Back Up slots, which are randomly populated with Freegunners not otherwise in your Custom Crew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Crew Builder also incentivizes you to populate your Custom Crews with characters of different roles. Unlike traditional archetypes, like Tank or Support, each Freegunner in Concord is meant to deliver high-DPS and be effective in a gunfight. Instead, our characters are defined by one of six distinct roles and the impact they can have in combat\u2014whether that\u2019s locking down an area, dominating long sightlines, or flanking enemies.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/concord-launch-and-the-adventure-ahead-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/concord-launch-and-the-adventure-ahead-2.jpg\" alt=\"This image the symbols and descriptions of the six distinct roles Freegunners fall into: Anchor, Breacher, Haunt, Ranger, Tactician and Warden. Each offers a unique bonus, which stack as you play different Freegunners during matches.\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Balancing your crew with Freegunners of different roles can give you an edge through special in-match benefits called Crew Bonuses. When you deploy Freegunners of different roles for the first time during a match, you\u2019re granted special bonuses that can increase mobility, improve weapon recoil, reduce cooldown times, and more that apply to any character you deploy from that point on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">When you combine all of these systems\u2014Crew Builder, Back-Up Slots, Freegunner Variants, and Crew Bonuses\u2014there\u2019s so much depth to how you can craft, refine, and master your builds in Concord as your experience grows. It also allows the meta to evolve continuously in exciting new ways, as you unlock new Freegunner Variants and new Freegunners and Variants are introduced over time with each season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Ultimately, when we step back and think about what drew us to make Concord and what we love most about multiplayer games, it\u2019s exactly that: the potential for continuous evolution. It\u2019s the thrill of the potential possibilities of where we can take the experience moving forward. And it\u2019s the sense of adventure of finding out, together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Prepare for launch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We can\u2019t wait to welcome you to the Concord galaxy and see how you learn and master each Freegunner and all of our systems in new and exciting ways, beginning with Concord\u2019s Early Access launch for Digital Deluxe Edition owners on Tuesday, August 20 and followed by our global launch on Friday, August 23.
