Media: Sony has not yet decided what to do with Concord and its creators. Firewalk Studios is expecting the worst
In early September, Sony removed Concord from sale. The publication Kotaku attempted to understand how this situation affected Firewalk Studios, the developer of the game.
Concord
- According to Kotaku, employees at Firewalk Studios do not know what will happen next with Concord and the studio itself. Sony has not yet made a final decision regarding their future.
- Many developers are pessimistic and doubt the game will ever come back to life. Some people believe that Firewalk Studios might be turned into a support studio that will assist other Sony teams with their projects. Others expect mass layoffs or even the closure of Firewalk Studios.
- It is reported that several people have already resigned from Firewalk Studios, without waiting for Sony's decision.
- Kotaku writes that the game director for Concord, Ryan Ellis, recently left his position. He still works at the studio but now holds a lower position. According to the publication, Ellis deeply believed in Concord and was very passionate about the game, which made it difficult for him to cope with the shooter's failure.
- It is assumed that Firewalk Studios is one of the most expensive PlayStation studios in terms of cost per employee. It has a staff of 150-170 people.
