Concord was supposed to be Sony’s next big thing.
A $200+ million live-service shooter, backed by PlayStation’s biggest names, and built to rival Overwatch. Instead, it flopped so hard, the studio was shut down just two weeks after launch.
In this video, we explore how a promising studio led by Bungie and Destiny veterans went from hype to disaster, why Sony was so confident in Concord, and how it ended up becoming the biggest financial failure in gaming—and possibly entertainment—history.
From the Daikatana disaster, to the rise of live-service trends, and Concord’s short-lived, meme-filled downfall, this is the story of how corporate overconfidence and trend-chasing killed another game before it even had a chance.
