After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game

God of war.

There are flops, and then there was Concord. A first-party PlayStation hero shooter from ex-Bungie devs, Concord had been in production for around six years and the development costs were reported by Kotaku as an eye-watering $200 million (a figure that some industry figures did dispute). It launched in August last year and lasted 11 days before Sony pulled the plug, and shut down the game's developer Firewalk Studios.

In the graveyard of live service games Concord may just be the biggest headstone, and that seems to have focused some minds over at PlayStation. Previously the noises coming from Sony were all about the importance of live service games to its future strategy, and it had announced plans to launch more than 10 live service games by the 2025 fiscal year, which ends on March 31, 2026.
