Firewalk Studios is gearing up for the release of Concord later this month, and to celebrate, the developer has dropped off roadmap for Season 1 and 2 of the game.
Concord Season 1 is launching a few months after the game’s release, arriving in October 2024 with a bunch of fresh content in the form of a new Freegunner, map, quality-of-life updates, new cosmetics/rewards and extra vignettes. In addition, there will also be an in-game store introduced in Season 1 to allow players to further customise their Freegunners, and will be entirely optional and do not affected gameplay.
Meanwhile, Season 2 will kick off in January 2025 and will implement a new game mode in addition everything included in season one.

Beyond the seasons detailed above, Firewalk Studios also talked about how they placed an importance on the abilities of your character, and evolving them as support for Concord continues.
Beyond the impact their abilities, roles, and kits could have in moment-to-moment combat, we saw exciting opportunities to add strategic layers to how and when you choose to deploy them throughout a match. In effect, we wanted to infuse the theorycrafting of a deck builder with a PVP first-person shooter. This became the root of our Crew Builder system.
Crew Builder allows you to create Custom Crews of Freegunners that you bring into a match. Every Custom Crew offers 12 configurable slots, which you can fill with characters from what will become a growing roster of Freegunners and their Variants. Each Freegunner will have multiple Variants, which are unique versions of each character that have special modifiers to their base abilities and can be unlocked by completing various in-game challenges.
Concord is pencilled in for a release on August 23, 2024 for PS5 and PC.
