Summary
Concordhas been confirmed to have six different game modes in a recent announcement.Concordis PlayStation’s upcoming hero-shooter that hopes to be its foot in the door of the medium of live-service shooters.
Concordwas recently shown off at the PlayStation State of Play, and since then there has been a wave of anticipation surrounding the game. The trailer forConcordoffered a look at the gameplay that players can expect from the 5v5 shooter, as well as giving a brief rundown of the abilities of the heroes currently on the roster. The hero shooter is a widely saturated genre, and this can be seen in the general reaction that the game has received so far,with many criticizingConcord’s character designand seemingly bland gameplay loop. The most recent announcement for the game unveils the various game modes that will be available to players.
As reported by Push Square,Concordwill have six game modes available to play upon launch, with the possibility of more to be added in the future. These could be seen thanks to non-US versions of the game displaying more information on the PlayStation storefront. The game modes on offer will paint a familiar picture for anyone withexperience in the hero shooter genre, asConcordpitches two teams against each other with a range of different objectives.
Concord Will Sport Six Different Game Modes upon Launch
Whilst sporting unique names, the crux of these modes will be familiar to most. Takedown offers a standard Team Deathmatch, with Trophy Hunt sporting a Kill Confirmed-style gameplay. Area Control, Clash Point, and Signal Chase all offer various takes on the “capture point” style game mode, and finally, Cargo Run offers what appears to be an attack-vs-defense payload-style mode. The inclusion of various game modes coupled with the hero shooter will result in consideration for crew composition between game modes – what works well in Trophy Hunt may not be as effective in a mode like Signal Chase. WithConcordavailable for pre-order right now, it would be unsurprising if an open beta was to follow soon after, so those interested in whatConcordhas to offer may be able to try it for themselves soon.
Concordhas had a rocky start before it even launched, but with this game mode lineup, it’s clear PlayStation is doing the work to makeConcordstand out amid the stream of hero shooters. With a handful of interesting game modes being available from launch, as well asConcordsporting a lower price than most, it could just be enough to make a stand.Concordis currently available for pre-order for PC and PlayStation 5, being set to launch on August 23.
