Do you remember Concordia? It’s back! It looks like Sony’s failed game-as-a-service had its fans, who were months of work to revive your servers to play again on PC, Steam Deck and PS5.
Basically, they rebuilt their API and multiplayer matches are possible again. It was the work of a small group of developers, although Sony is not amused and is already taking action.
A shame, because it was a colossal amount of reverse engineering work in an attempt to reach a successful conclusion and get their games working again; No more just staying on the Secret Level.
PlayStation 5 Pro
The most powerful console in history has 4K with Ray Tracing and an immense catalog of high-quality games.
Thanks to a project led by well-known developers like Red, open_wizard and gwogits announcement on Discord (which we read on The Game Post) left no doubt.
The first worked on rebuilding the API, while the second was responsible for engineering and its systems so that the third could put the finishing touches to make everything polished and error-free.
The team managed to put the pieces together and make a Lazarus with the Firewalk game: main menu, character window, pairings and even custom games.
“Hello. After a long time of reverse engineering and server development, we managed to play Concord! (…)
The project is still in progress, it is playable, but with errors. Once our servers are fully configured we will start running some private tests“, said the statement on Discord.
The bad news? There were videos showing that everything was going well, but Sony is taking them down with DMCA since almost the moment they were published and it seems that the project may come to nothing.
Play Concord again thanks to fanservers?
The same media reported that the company was just removing videos, but that was not a good sign. The creators’ top two videos are no longer available, removed due to a complaint from MarkScan.
When this company appears, Sony is behind it. Red said after that: “Due to concerning legal actions, we have decided to suspend private invitations for the time being.“.
Even if the team hasn’t received these notifications from the project itself, perhaps revive Concord on private servers thanks to fans is hanging by a thread. In other words, do you think they will dare to launch it?
