  We got our first look at Firewalk Studios' upcoming 5v5 first-person shooter <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/product/concord">Concord</a> last week during a PlayStation State of Play, which is where we also learned <a href="https://www.gameinformer.com/state-of-play/2024/05/30/playstation-reveals-first-look-at-concords-5v5-fps-gameplay-out-this">it will launch simultaneously on PlayStation 5 and PC on August 23 after a beta this July.</a> Now, thanks to a new <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2024/06/06/concord-is-now-available-to-pre-order-early-access-and-beta-detailed/">PlayStation Blog post</a> detailing the game's preorder contents, we know it will cost $39.99. 

That same blog post says Concord will launch with 16 playable characters known as Freerunners, 12 unique maps set on various in-universe worlds, and six distinct team-based modes. And that content will “expand shortly after launch with regular, post-launch updates” for all players at no additional cost. 

Here’s a look at the Concord box art:

Alongside the standard $39.99 edition of the game, PlayStation and Firewalk are releasing a Digital Deluxe Edition for $59.99 that includes additional cosmetics to customize your Freegunners and 72-hours early access to the game’s August launch. Preordering the game, regardless of edition, also gets you (and up to four friends) beta access and the Monarch cosmetics pack.

“Seeing Vale and other Freegunners in action in gameplay footage is one thing, but there’s no substitute for experiencing the game for yourself,” the blog post reads. “That’s why we’re hosting a pre-launch beta, simultaneously on PS5 and PC with cross-play support. Those that pre-order will have an opportunity to be among the first to play Concord.” 

That beta is set to happen this July before Concord launches on PS5 and PC on August 23.
