Jon Weisnewski, lead character designer on the heroic shooter Concord, recently revealed on social media that the game has been in development for about eight years, and that he has been personally involved in development for about five years. This suggests that work on the game began around 2016, at the height of the heroic shooter craze, fueled by the success of the first Overwatch game.
today, @FirewalkStudios I launched @Play ConcordThe game has been in development for about 8 years and I've been involved in it for almost 5. We don't have many launch days in our careers, so today is special for a few reasons. I owe you some good feelings today.

What we know
It should be noted that this timeline likely includes pre-production, as Firewalk Studios, Concord's developer, wasn't fully established until 2018. Still, the game's development has been extensive, which is understandable given the challenges of creating a story-driven, heroic shooter.
Fajsniewski also highlighted the team's commitment to supporting the game in the long term, saying, “We are ready to work on it for many years.”
where to play
Concord is available on PlayStation 5 and PC.
