After Concord’s stumble, players remember Redfall and mock the failed PlayStation exclusive

Concord will be remembered as one of the biggest stumbles in the recent history of the gaming industry. Despite its good ideas and intentions, it was unable to connect with gamers. As a result, Its days are already numberedAs we approach its imminent closure, the community remembered another failed game: Redfallwho in retrospect fared better.

The multiplayer game of Firewalk Studios and Sony debuted on August 23 exclusively for PC and PlayStation 5Its launch was far from meeting expectations, as it brought together less than 700 simultaneous players on Steam and reports indicate that it only sold around 25,000 units across both platforms.

Due to the low number of players, finding matches became less and less common. In the end, all predictions came true: Concord has stopped selling and will shut down its servers in a matter of days. The news came as a surprise to the community, and certainly gave rise to a lot of talk.

Players vindicate Redfall after Concord’s failure

Following the announcement of the closure of Concordthe players took the opportunity to claim Redfallthe failed multiplayer FPS from Arkane Austin and Microsoft which debuted in early 2023. Let us remember that it received very negative reviewsand even entered the top 15 of the lowest rated games on Steam.

It is clear that the video game vampires failed to resonate with audiences and is also considered a failure; however, it arguably performed better when compared to the PlayStation hero shooter. Despite its flaws, it was one of the most played titles on Xbox at launch thanks in large part to its Day 1 debut on Xbox Game PassAccording to Arkane, “millions” have tried it.

Redfall The game was the target of negative reviews, but it also managed to create a small community around it. Some players took to social media to boast about their more than 100 hours of gameplay and defend the title. Although the servers will remain active, all content plans have been cancelled following the closure of the development studio.

So the players made fun of the failure of Concord and noted that at least the Arkane Austin project still exists and is playable. One user even pointed out that the vampire FPS got more players that the hero shooter from Sony at some point.
