I didn't hear a single thing about this game until literally right now.

Not sure on the reason for the downvotes here. My understanding is they marketed it very poorly and they brought a hero shooter to a saturated market without adding anything new

Its an Overwatch clone that released 10 years too late.

The character designs are atrocious, some of which may possibly be due to "DEI consultancy firms" editing/changing/having the final say on character design (don't know what the firms did, so they could have done nothing or had draconian control over every detail), but ignoring that even just on a mechanical level the designs are bad. The silhouettes are hard to read, the color separation is bad, texture variety is bad, cohesion in design patterns is bad. Its like they were designed by people that know nothing about art or character design, IMO equally as bad as when some fanfic writers write about women in the most ridiculous ways possible.

People aren't tired of Hero Shooters. Paladins is doing alright (shockingly), Valorant is still pulling in big player numbers, and Valve's Deadlock is proving MASSIVELY popular and that's not even released yet.

Concord was just a bad game. It featured art nobody liked, characters that were both ugly and boring at the same time, and it demonstrated a profound lack of attention to detail. For example, Concords particles from bullet impacts practically don't exist and the sound does almost nothing to make the player feel like theyre actually shooting a gun.

For $100+ milion and 8 years, where did all that money go? Because it obviously wasn't spent on the game.
