Concord’s rapid decline was a hard pill for Sony to swallow.

According to Kotaku, they invested 200Million in the development of Concord after the acquisition of the studio in 2023

Sony stated in its latest fiscal year report “We intend to share the lessons learned from our successes and failures across our studios, including in the areas of title development management as well as the process of continually adding expanded content and scaling the service after its release, so as to strengthen our development management system.”

This however won’t be applied to the studio behind Concord, Firewalk Studio, as they were shut down in October of 2024 by Sony.
