PlayStation seems to be betting big on Concord, its upcoming 5v5 multiplayer shooter and debut effort from Firewalk Studios, having just come off of a series of beta weekends and now going full throttle on marketing.
Just yesterday, we got answers to some of the bigger questions around the game including how player progression will work, what sort of free content and updates to expect post-launch and more. But what if your biggest question was, “How can I show my fandom for this unreleased multiplayer shooter by spending more money?”
If that’s you, I’ve got good news and disappointing news – the good news is that PlayStation is launching a Concord Limited Edition DualSense wireless controller and it looks real nice. The bad news is that it seems it’s only available in regions where the PlayStation Direct online store exists, so Aussie fans miss out.
“Join the crew of the Northstar!” reads the official product description for the controller, which is adorned with the same kind of retro-futurist aesthetic that makes Concord itself look so distinct.
“Lead your crew of Freegunner space outlaws in thrilling PvP battles with the DualSense Wireless Controller – Concord Limited Edition. Featuring elements of the Galactic Guide and Faster-Than-Light interstellar travel, the design showcases the colourfully vibrant nature of this new and spectacular sci-fi galaxy.”

Ewan had a fair amount of praise for Concord following the game’s beta, writing, “The game feels much more approachable for those that have dabbled in hero shooters but grew intimidated by the complexity of the meta. The core mechanics of hero shooters are still present, but cycling through characters makes for a changed pace I think most would enjoy. It’s well-rounded, nicely polished, with a generous assortment of unique but balanced characters.”
Concord launches on August 23rd for PS5 and PC. It’s available for pre-order now at a discounted price of just $49 on Amazon.
