Concordis set in a “vibrant original sci-fi universe” that promises to be the next bigPlayStationshooter title, to rival the likes ofHelldivers 2.
Yet, those plans might already be going awry given the reception to its pre-order price point.

It doesn’t sound bad, does it?

Compared with £60 launch day costs, no, it doesn’t. However, when compared with other “team-based shooters”, its price makes it stand out from the crowd in the worst of ways.
“Good luck with that,” remarked @PapPap13, “BothOverwatchandMarvel[Rivals] are free to play.”
Someone else commented saying, “$39.99 [is] too expensive […] The game is dead before it’s released.”
For every negative comment you see, there’s also a positive. However, the chorus ofConcordbeing “dead on arrival” is difficult to drown out regardless of how enthusiastically fans try.

Putting the price into perspective, though, it costs the same asHelldivers 2, and thus the price seems like the ideal “sweet spot”.
WhetherConcordcan live up to the same levels of hype asHelldivers 2remains to be seen, though it seems unlikely given the mixed reception the shooter is attracting already.
If fans finally relent about the price, the issue of needing a PSN account to play with surely stoke the flames of anger once more.

Even ifConcordsurprises us all, it’s destined to face no end of criticism and backlash.
Concordis due to release on 23 August. Although there’s still some time before it launches, don’t expect its price to change, as the PlayStation Store has £34.99 advertised everywhere.
