Marvel Rivals director reckons Concord flopped because it wasn't original enough: "I don't think anybody can accurately predict this"

Venom, Spider-Man, Peni Parker, Scarlet Witch, Magneto, and Storm pose in artwork for Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals is a rare success in the live service arena that's taken countless high-profile victims this year, having pulled over 10 million players in just three days, but the (super)hero shooter's director has said he believes Concord failed to find the same success because it "didn't bring any unique value."

Despite entering into a subgenre where Overwatch 2 dominates, Marvel Rivals and Concord had two very different fates. Marvel Rivals seems to be a massive hit at the moment, while publisher PlayStation took Concord round back after its launch and then eventually shut down the entire studio.
