Concord gets an early seal of approval from hero shooter rival Overwatch, amid open beta praise for "solid gunplay" and some amazing sci-fi art

Concord.

Sony's upcoming hero shooter, Concord, got its first public showing over the weekend, with an early access beta available to select players ahead of a full-fledged open beta later this week. And despite having some stiff competition to overcome, the PS5's sci-fi FPS got some pretty positive reactions.

Perhaps the most telling of those is from Overwatch senior animator Kyle Disanjh, who says that the rival hero shooter is "a great surprise so far," with "distinct" characters and "fast and kinetic" combat. Overwatch's position in the hero shooter market is in no doubt, so a nod from one of its developers is pretty good news for Concord. Disanjh wasn't, however, the only dev with something nice to say, as Insomniac lead engine programmer Elan Ruskin took time to highlight the soulful character change animations.
