“The game has been in development for about 8 years and I've been there for almost 5 of them,” Weisnewski said. “We don't get a lot of launch days in our careers, so today is special for a bunch of reasons. Give me some good vibes today.”
The hero shooter is now available on PlayStation 5 and PC for those who purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition, but everyone will be able to play it when it officially launches tomorrow, August 30, 2024.
According to Weisnewski, it's just the beginning for Firewalk Studios as it prepares for the “years ahead.”

Despite being a real-life shooter, it has been confirmed that Concord will not have a Battle Pass, as Firewalk wanted to focus its attention on making the game a “rewarding and solid experience from day one, where simply playing, leveling up your accounts and characters, and completing jobs yields meaningful rewards.”
However, the shooter will feature microtransactions in the form of downloadable content (DLC) that will allow players to purchase optional cosmetics such as character skins.
