01. PLANETS OF THE CONCORD GALAXY​

LEVIATHAN​ Chaotic waves hide deadly sea creatures of monstrous proportions on this ocean world at the heart of the intergalactic food supply chain. WATER HAZARD On the stormy, water-covered planet of Leviathan, a massive, armored Morack eel has been caught and is being harvested on a large floating fishing platform. Take on rival crews across the fishing platform and within the jaws of the Morack that's been strung up at a central harvesting site. SHOCK RISK Located beneath a massive conductive kite in the sky that harvests lightning, Shock Risk features multiple unique arenas for battling with rival crews with pathways that converge on a large center tower.

AKKAR​ A once-tropical planet now in the midst of an extinction-level event that has left the landscape littered with the skeletal remains of massive creatures known as Vastadons. BONE MINES The remains of massive Vastadons on the tropical planet Akkar have become the site of a lucrative Guild mining operation. Fight through the excavated bones and mining caverns in a mix of close-quarters and mid-range combat.

GLANCE​ This twin-sun desert world has a scorching, arid climate with whipping winds, making it the perfect home for salt evaporation fields used in the production of FTL starship fuel. FREEWATER Set in a fortified outpost on the sun-scorched planet of Glance, Freewater features intersecting perimeter lanes and a large central courtyard in the middle of the map that serves as a prime convergence point and inspires intense combat engagements.

GLOOM​ On the edge of the galaxy and famed for its desirable starlight fruit, this moon has many secrets both past and present. STAR CHAMBER Located atop the tallest mountain on the planet Gloom sits an ancient observatory with narrow corridors and a meteorite at the center, which creates great opportunities for team-fights and one-on-one battles.

Can you turn off cross-play? cos that would be the first thing I would do.

Going to be super interesting to see how this game goes in the next few weeks and months.

For those that are playing, good luck out there.

You could in the Beta. Ill know in a couple of hours

 

[Kokoloko]

Time for Lark. Aka Groot at home lol. I spent about 70% of the time playing as him

 

[voke]

In for Roka and Kyps. fuck it let me go ahead and buy the deluxe!

 

[Danja]

Time for Lark. Aka Groot at home lol. I spent about 70% of the time playing as him

I think I only played with him once and that was during the no respawn mode lol

Yeah it's off by default. You have to turn it on manually.

edit: based on the Beta of course

That is a godsend for PS players.

Shit having to play vs keyboard and mouse + I don't know how good the anti cheat will be in the game, fucking cheaters all ways find a way to spoil everything.

I don't think it will be off by default.
PC were having 3-5 minutes queues... they don't want that to happen again.

But I have nothing to do with that... tomorrow I turn it off by myself

 

[Kokoloko]

Lol, I only tried that mode a few times.

With Lark, if you put your spawn pods in the right place, it creates some good tactics and can save you to fight again with a close heal.

Also his weapon is great fore fighting around corners, and hallways. The shots home in once someone is close enough, and you can avoid some heavy fire with bouncing shots

Yeah that's why I play my MP titles on console. The cheaters always ruin everything, I can still decently hold my own vs m&k unless they are sweats with a controller but no use vs cheaters. I put it off by default.

don't think it will be off by default.

True, was going off the beta. I assume it will pop-up in the first start-up/configuration.

 

[John Elden Ring]

Peaking at 3900 players

 

[ethomaz]

Sadly.

PC crossplay isn't defaulted to off anymore.
But you are asked if you want to go with default or change on the first time.

But I understand why... needs to make these weirdo steam users happy.

**Let's go over what's new for Launch:**

**Join-in-progress feature:** It was absent for Beta, but we're happy to announce that this feature will be launching with Concord! This feature helps to backfill team members who have left a game early, helping to ensure all matches are as evenly populated as possible.

**Quitter Penalty:** Also absent for Beta but will be present at Launch. Quitter penalties will be applied to players who intentionally leave games early. There is a bit of grace given for the first couple of leaves, but after enough warnings, users will receive a Quitter Penalty that will put their ability to queue up on a cool down. The more penalties a player racks up, the longer a player will be prevented from queuing. Our goal is to help encourage healthy team play, fair matches, and respectful behavior. Quitter Penalties should help discourage repeat behavior of quitting mid-match so that both teams see their game through to completion.

**Training & Practice Range:** Beginning at Launch, both Training and Practice Range modes will be opening for you to practice and train to your heart's content! Take your time to learn your Freegunners' abilities, weapons, and Crew Bonuses.

**PC Players:** NVIDIA & AMD are releasing new drivers that will allow you to get the most performance out of your hardware, so be sure to update your drivers before diving in!

**Variant Unlocks:** As we've previously published in our blogs, Variants will begin to unlock week by week starting this week, with Teo! Each week a new Variant Challenge will unlock, and you'll be able to earn a brand-new Variant for other Freegunners. Additionally, Lennox and Lark are available to unlock immediately by just hitting level 6 and level 13, respectively. To confirm, this is 8 total Variants between Launch and Season 1, with more Variants on the way at the launch of Season 1 and beyond.

**Crew Bonuses UI:** Thanks for your feedback regarding the UI for Crew Bonuses! We knew we wanted to make adjustments to improve legibility, and your feedback helped fuel the team to make the changes we wanted in time for launch.

**Crew Bonuses applied after self-elimination:** We've made changes to prevent self-elimination from applying Crew Bonuses.

**Cross-play default settings:** We hear you, PC players! This one's for you. Cross-play will be default ON for all players across both PS5 and PC platforms. Every player will be prompted during their First Time Settings screen to make their selection before loading into Concord. Additionally, you can always revisit your in-game settings to toggle cross-play on or off, whichever you desire.

**Time Trials:** Time Trials is a solo-play mode that lets you take certain Freegunners through timed runs in-game. This mode features a leaderboard, so let's see what you've got to get to the top!

**Galactic Guide:** It's finally here! Dive into our Galactic Guide to learn more behind all of our Freegunners, planets, and the rich lore that's woven into the Concord Galaxy. You'll earn "Lore XP" as you play, leveling up your Galactic Guide, unlocking more and more details about Concord as you go. (And if you're anything like me, you'll leave the Galactic Guide open as a peaceful soundtrack to work to!)

**Crew Customization Menu:** Now allows you to preview all the items you can unlock for your Freegunners.

**Weekly Vignettes:** You already know this, but just a hype reminder that EACH WEEK (yes, EACH WEEK), you'll be greeted with a new Cinematic Vignette when you log into Concord! These slice-of-life stories are here to give you more insight into the daily lives of the Freegunners on the Northstar. We can't wait for you to watch their stories unfold.

**"Takeover" playlist is now "Overrun":** We felt like the playlist "Takeover" sounded a little too close to our mode "Takedown", so we changed it! This playlist will now be called "Overrun."

*Phew, that's a lot of updates!* All this being said, we can't thank all of you who Beta tested with us enough for the feedback which leads me to my next big update

These ones were crucial. These guys work fast.
