Sony is taking Concord, its latest PlayStation game, offline on September 6th, following poor sales of the game. The first-person hero shooter launched exclusively on PS5 and PC on August 23rd, but estimates have put sales at under 25,000. Concord also only managed to hit an all-time peak of 697 players on Steam, lower than the launch peak of The Lord of the Rings: Gollum — widely regarded as the worst game of 2023.

Firewalk Studios’ mention of options “that will better reach our players” and the refunds make it seem like Concord, if it does return, will move to a free-to-play model. “We’ll keep you updated and thank you again to all the Freegunners who have joined us in the Concord galaxy,” says Ellis.

Deadlock is an upcoming action game developed and published by Valve for Windows. It combines the hero shooter and MOBA genres.

Deadlock has been in playtesting since 2023, and players with access can invite their friends. As of August 2024, it had reached a concurrent player count of just above 100,000. Since May 2024, numerous leaks have occurred, and a journalist was banned from the matchmaking service after writing a preview for the technology site The Verge. Valve officially unveiled the game in August 2024.

There’s an old story, so old it was old when the Arc was first built. The hero Theseus’s decaying ship is replaced, piece by piece, until none of the original parts remain. Is it still the same ship?

GRAFT splices together tense survival horror with a dark RPG experience in a thrilling new adventure from the developers of BATTLETECH and the Shadowrun Trilogy. Explore a dying world haunted by darkly fascinating characters and nightmarish monsters as you delve into the mysteries of the Arc. Tear pieces from your enemies to transform yourself into something new—something capable of surviving the horrors that prowl around you. Every Graft brings with it some piece of its previous owner’s identity, changing more than just your physical body.

You are the Ship of Theseus. Who, or what, will you be when you escape?

Postcyberpunk includes newer cyberpunk works that experiment with different approaches to the genre. Oftentimes, such works will keep to central futuristic elements of cyberpunk—such as human augmentation, ubiquitous infospheres, and other advanced technology—but will forgo the assumption of a dystopia. However, like all categories discerned within science fiction, the boundaries of postcyberpunk are likely to be fluid or ill-defined.

I am not a huge survival genre fan, but I really liked Green Hell. I loved that there was an underlying story, I loved figuring out what was going on, and I enjoyed the survival and hunting mechanics.
