PARIS ― Sony has pulled a major video game just two weeks after its launch, the developer has said, following catastrophic sales figures.
The first-person shooter game 'Concord,' rolled out by Sony subsidiary Firewalk Studios, reportedly took eight years to develop but attracted just a few hundred players to its online PC version and sold only a few thousand hard copies.Firewalk Game Director Ryan Ellis said Concord would come offline on Friday, and players would be refunded, making it among the costliest failures in gaming history.
'Concord invited players to shoot their way across the galaxy as part of a rag-tag collection of heroes staffing the North Star freighter.But it attracted just 697 PC online players at its highest, according to the SteamDB platform, and sold only around 25,000 hard copies, the IGN website said.By way of comparison, independent game 'Black Myth: Wukong' was launched last month on PlayStation 5 and sold 10 million copies in its first three days.
