Available details about Sony's Concord

Concord’s future heroes, game modes and maps will be free of cost byu/Ajxtt inGamingLeaksAndRumours

Revealed during the recent PlayStation State of Play, Concord is slowly but steadily hyping up fans as we near its release. According to PlayStation Australia's website and the r/GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit, the following key information is available about the free-to-play nature of the game beyond its initial purchase:

• The game will launch with six PvP game modes, which will be a mixture of objective and respawn-based gameplay.
• Each here, called Freegunner, will be able to unlock unique modifiers that can change their gameplay.
• After the initial purchase, game modes, Freegunners, maps, and other cosmetic items will be free.
• Daily and weekly challenges need to be completed to unlock more Freegunners/heroes.

From the looks of it, the internal model of the game seems very close to the original Overwatch model, where every item could be purchased by grinding for in-game currency.
