In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Miller, who directed the Concord episode for Amazon’s Secret Level anthology series, shared his thoughts on the game’s failure.
A Glimpse into the Potential of Concord
Miller believes that Concord had the potential to be a groundbreaking game. He praised the talented team at Firewalk Studios for their dedication and hard work. “I think this episode was really good and you can see the potential of this world and characters,” he said. “If this is all that’s left of this universe, then I hope the developers who put so much blood, sweat and tears into creating it find this episode worthwhile.”
The Mystery Behind Concord’s Failure
Despite the game’s promising premise and talented development team, Concord ultimately failed to gain traction. Miller admitted his confusion regarding the game’s reception. “There was no nicer, more dedicated group of developers than the Concord team. I honestly don’t understand why the game failed. I know they tried their best and they were a talented group of artists, so I feel terrible about it,” he stated.
A Loss for the Gaming Industry
The closure of Firewalk Studios and the cancellation of Concord represent a significant loss for the gaming industry. The studio was comprised of experienced developers who had worked on critically acclaimed titles such as Destiny and Halo. Their passion and creativity were evident in the Concord episode, which offered a glimpse into a promising future.
The Future of Firewalk’s Developers
While the future of Firewalk Studios remains uncertain, the talented individuals who worked on Concord are likely to find new opportunities in the gaming industry. Their dedication and expertise will undoubtedly contribute to the development of future gaming projects.
