Concord was decidedly not great. So not great that Sony took the virtually unprecedented step of pulling the plug on the whole thing just a couple weeks after it launched. Sony said at the time that it wanted to "explore options ... to better reach our players," leaving open the possibility that some sort of comeback, maybe as a free-to-play game, might be in the cards. I was dubious, to put it gently, but recent events have me thinking that maybe it's actually going to happen.
Concord was taken offline on September 6, but a large number of updates have been applied to the game on Steam over the past two weeks. Visible on SteamDB, the updates began on September 30 and continued with reasonable regularity at a pace of a half-dozen or so per day until October 10.
