While Sony has said there are no plans to release sequels in its major franchises this financial year, ruling out new games in the Spider-Man and God of War series until at least April 2025, we do know of one new first-party PlayStation game coming out this year: Concord.
Firewalk shares the first in-depth look at the gameplay, universe, and characters of Concord.

Honestly this hooked me at the start, the characters look fun, the setting looks interesting and it had a bit of humour which was very Guardians of the Galaxy like but as soon as I saw the gameplay...I don't know, another live service shooter with characters who have their own special abilities and other things we've seen before a dozen times.
I wish they kept the characters and it was single player story driven, if they pulled it off it might have kickstarted a new franchise for them.
I was like ok cinematics look good but this is a multiplayer only game which means they're filler at best. Then I saw that it looked like yet another overwatch clone. Not impressed by it at all and not only that, this generic looking gameplay was enough to convince sony that bungie got final say on how other studios projects would go. That's what really annoys me.
You know the funny thing is, I was late for the stream so I didn't know it was Concord, I honestly thought it was a brand new single player IP. When they started to use special abilities in the trailer which looked like something you'd see in hero shooters I started to click on.
I just can't believe Sony bought an entire studio for this f***** game
They bought Haven Studios aswell right off the bat and they are working on that GaaS title Fairgame$
Fox bungie are decent devs but their management is terrible. They literally laid off ppl after sony gave them money not to lay off ppl. Second they make online only games now so theirs not much for me to enjoy about them honestly.
Looks nice, but, yeah, just not a game for me. Maybe those who enjoy these games will really enjoy this one? That was a great trailer, though. Lot of money put into it to sell the style and atmosphere.
Looks trash the whole state of play was wack only good thing was god of war on pc
Guardians of the Galaxy-lite looks interesting, but it is a damn shame it is PvP without any PvE or SP element.
Aren't there enough established PvP games available?!
Is this a live service multiplayer game like Helldivers 2? Never heard of this game
Very interesting I hope we learn about concord
This is good for PS as a whole but I have been done with PVP shooters for about a decade now.
I would be so hyped if it was some kind of singleplayer title. But it's not. Still curious, that image is very cool.
