[QUOTE="Admin, post: 63580, member: 1"] Sony’s upcoming team-based shooter Concord appears to be following the example of Helldivers 2 in having a more affordable price tag to garner interest. Although the [URL='https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/concord/']United States PlayStation store[/URL] doesn’t list Concord’s price, eagle-eyed users on [URL='https://www.resetera.com/threads/concord-pricing-appears-on-australian-ps-store-page-same-as-helldivers-2-60-aud-standard-95-aud-digital-deluxe.890364/'][U]ResetEra[/U][/URL] spotted the game’s listing on the [URL='https://store.playstation.com/en-au/concept/10002695']Australian PlayStation store[/URL]. With the help of some cursory currency conversions ($1 USD roughly equals $1.50 AUD), users believe they have a ballpark for how much Concord will cost gamers in the United States. According to the Australian PlayStation Store listing, Concord — like with Helldivers 2 before it — will have a Standard and Digital Deluxe Edition that will run players roughly $59.95 and $94.95 Australian Dollars. In layman’s terms, Concord’s Standard and Deluxe edition price tags in the United States would be roughly $40 and $60, if directly converted to U.S. pricing. IGN reached out to Sony for comment. If that price does pan out, it seems that Sony would be taking a page from Helldivers 2's smash success, which had a similar asking price. It's little wonder, too, that Sony would want to follow Helldivers 2's example, considering the hit third-person shooter shot up the charts as[URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/helldivers-2-is-playstations-fastest-selling-game-of-all-time-with-over-12-million-sold-in-12-weeks'] PlayStation’s fastest-selling game of all time[/URL] by selling over 12 million copies in its first 12 weeks. Though, as ResetEra users point out, Helldivers 2's meteoric success is thanks in large part to word-of-mouth recommendations from players as well as its engrossing gameplay. This, coupled with Sony's lack of bigger PlayStation 5 exclusives, puts some pressure on Concord to recapture the same lightning-in-a-bottle appeal that Helldivers 2 did on launch, especially in the wake of [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/concord-gets-new-cinematic-and-gameplay-trailer-and-a-release-date-state-of-play-2024']Concord's extended showcase at the most recent Sony State of Play[/URL]. During [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/concord-is-the-first-game-from-developer-firewalk-studios']Concord's reveal at last year's State of Play[/URL], Firewalk Studios game director Ryan Ellis said the 5v5 first-person shooter was designed to inspire social play. According to Ellis, players will be awaited by a new adventure every time they log in, and "every match is an opportunity for a new story." Time will tell whether Concord lives up to the hype. Concord will release on August 23 for PlayStation 5 and PC. A pre-launch beta is planned for July sometime in July for both platforms. Isaiah Colbert is a freelance writer for IGN.
