oh damn, not even a rework
this really crashed and burned in record time

i kinda expected a free to play rework with overpriced skins and a pointless battlepass before they shut down for good.

Shame, really. The game looked fun at least

I wonder how much debt Sony offloaded onto them before shutting them down.

At least $400m lol

I'm surprised they didn't even try f2p

I've seen F2P shuffled to other devs in the past, namely APB: Reloaded. They'll work on it quietly and then suddenly "Corcord 2.0 coming summer 2026!"
