➀ Bend Studio, the developer of Days Gone, has been hit with layoffs after its next live-service game was cancelled. ➁ Approximately 30% of the studio's workforce is being let go. ➃ Sony has confirmed the layoffs but did not comment on the game cancellation.

1. Sony and Firewalk Studios plan to launch Concord in August despite negative feedback from the beta; 2. The game will offer free post-launch updates including new characters and maps, but lacks a clear revenue model; 3. Concord's low player count during the open beta and lack of presence on Steam wishlists suggest potential challenges in attracting and retaining players.
