Concord, the upcoming hero-shooter by Firewalk Studios, has managed to grab everyone’s attention thanks to the ongoing beta. Even though it clearly draws inspiration fromOverwatchandValorant,it brings something unique to the table.
The game’s beta is receiving mixed reviews from players, but some appreciate its unique mechanics and exciting gameplay. However,Concordstill lacks a significant feature, which its biggest rival,Call of Duty, has had for nearly 15 years at this point.
Concord Needs to Bring the Most Essential FPS Features to Succeed
There’s no doubt thatCall of Dutyis the face of the FPS genre. The series has brought many revolutionary features and mechanics in the past two decades, which are now the essentials of any FPS title.
“Vibrant, snappy and full of its own ideas…”: Concord Isn’t Overwatch or Valorant, But the Beta Seems to Be Winning Many Over
Concordbeta has proven to be a great experience so far, but it’s clear that the game still needs to improve upon a lot of things before its full release. Many in the community have said that the title desperately needs the“Join in Progress”and“AFK Kick”features fromtheCall of Dutyfranchise to encourage players to keep playing.
One of the fundamental flaws with the game right now is that a large number of players leave their games once they start losing rounds. While other shooters allow players to join such matches and fill up spots, Firewalk’s hero shooter doesn’t, which makes it quite a frustrating experience for the team on the losing end.
That’s not all; players come across tons of AFK players during their playtime. Often, there’s an option to kick such players, but again,Concorddoesn’t allow players to do that for some unknown reason.
It’s clear that if Firewalk wants to establish the game as one of the contenders for the Game of the Year award, it needs to sort out various issues and bring such core features to the game.
When Is Concord Going Global?
Originally revealed back in May 2023, we got our first look at Firewalk’sConcordalmost one year later at Sony’s State of Play.

PlayStation has confirmed that all additions to the title, including maps, game modes, and characters, will be absolutely free.
