Concord Open Beta period and additional details

The Concord Open Beta will end on July 21, 2024. This event will begin right after the Early Access Beta, which commences on July 12 and ends on July 14, 2024.

This title is set in a visually stunning sci-fi universe where players can play as characters with unique abilities. The experience gives gamers roles within the Northstar crew, a group made up of outlaws, misfits, and adventurers who work as guns-for-hire. These characters are called Freegunners.

The Concord Open Beta will be free to play, and the Beta game version can be downloaded by players from the PlayStation Store, PlayStation Direct, Steam, or the Epic Games Store. However, it's worth mentioning, the Early Access Beta requires players to pre-order the title.

Additionally, though Open Beta is free, it is important to note that the title itself is not free-to-play. One must purchase it from the aforementioned stores once it is released or pre-order it.

The Beta sessions will include 16 available characters. Some of them are:

• 1-0FF
• Bazz
• Haymar
• It-Z
• Lennox
• Star Child
• Teo
• Vale

The developers have also announced four separate modes for the Open Beta. These are Trophy Hunt, Clash Point, Area Control, and Cargo Run. Furthermore, the title is also set to have five unique maps to play on. These are as follows:

• Freewater
• Shock Risk
• Star Chamber
• Water Hazard
• Bone Mines

The game modes and maps will be available during the Concord Open Beta period. After the full release of the game, it will have 12 unique maps for a rich and diverse gameplay experience. Different maps may take players to entire new planets in the Concord universe.

Furthermore, the release version will also have six distinct game modes. The title will also get free updates, through which the developers will add accessories, game modes, and even maps.
