The reverberations of Concord’s seismic implosion continue to spread after Sony’s decision to take the game offline, leading to the game’s director, Ryan Ellis of Firewalk Studios, gracefully stepping down from his position. Ellis, who co-founded Firewalk after his time as the creative director of Destiny 2, will now only provide support to the studio. Meanwhile, the Firewalk team anxiously awaits Sony’s next steps with their underperforming game, which was pulled just two weeks after its release, prompting refunds to players. The poor sales of Concord have made it one of the biggest industry flops, with only 25,000 copies sold within the first six days on platforms like Steam and PS5. The uncertain future of the game has left many Firewalk employees worried about the security of their jobs amid this disappointing turn of events.
