PlayStation has made the surprising decision to shut down the studios behind Concord, namely Neon Koi and Firewalk Studios. Initially, there was speculation that Concord was going to be revamped and re-released. However, Sony has officially closed the studios, putting an end to the game's future prospects.
This move has left many fans wondering about the reasons behind the shutdown. Some suggest it could be due to strategic refocusing by PlayStation, while others believe it might be related to internal challenges within the studios.
In other news, Path of Exile 2 has been delayed by three weeks. Originally slated for release on November 15, 2024, the new launch date is now December 6, 2024. The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. According to VGC, the delay aims to provide developers with extra time to polish the game.
This adjustment might disappoint eager fans, but it's often better for a game to be delayed than to release unfinished. With the additional time, we can expect a more refined and immersive experience.
