Each character brings unique strategic abilities, a sense of movement and gunplay, and above all, your own personality on the battlefield.
Explore (and fight on) multiple planets and modes
During both weekends of the Concord Beta, you’ll be able to visit and battle across multiple worlds and maps in Concord Galaxy.
During the Concord Beta Early Access weekend, you will have the opportunity to play on four maps:
Free water: Set in a fortified outpost on the sun-scorched planet of Glance, Freewater features intersecting lanes and a large courtyard in the center of the map that serves as the main gathering point and inspires intense skirmishes.
Flood risk: On the stormy water planet Leviathan, a giant armored eel, called a Morack, has been captured and is being harvested on a large floating fishing platform. Players will fight across the platform and in the jaws of Morack at a major harvest location.
Star room: Located atop the tallest mountain on the planet, Gloom has an ancient observatory with narrow corridors and a meteorite in the center, creating great opportunities for team battles and one-on-one battles .
Shock Risk: Set beneath a giant conductive kite in the lightning-harvesting skies of the planet Leviathan, Shock Risk features multiple unique arenas to battle opposing teams with paths converging towards a large central tower.
During the Open Beta weekend, a new world and fifth map will be introduced: Bone Mine on the planet Akkar.
Bone Mine: The remains of the vast lands on the tropical planet Akkar have become the site of the Guild’s lucrative mining operation, where you’ll battle through excavated bones and mining caves in a mix of close-range and mid-range combat.
Concord Beta also has a variety of modes to suit your mood, whether it’s jumping into a quick match after work or teaming up with friends for more cooperative and competitive play.
Concord Early Access Beta will launch this weekend with three modes:
Trophy hunting: A respawn-based mode where you fight to take down opposing crew members and collect their bonus cards to earn points for your team. The first team to reach the target score before time runs out wins the match.
Shipment: Zero Respawn mode, in which teams compete to retrieve the Blue Buddy robot delivery system, place it in one of the zones, and defend it from the opposing crew to win.
Conflict point: Round-based, non-respawning game mode in which teams compete to control a single, centrally located area on the map.
Then, during Open Beta week, you’ll be able to try out the new mode: Zone Control.
Area Control: Respawn mode where teams compete to control multiple capture and control zones on the map. Control two or more zones to increase your team’s score and reach the score threshold to win.
Witness the Beginning of the Northstar Crew Story
In addition to getting to know the Northstar crew through gameplay, you’ll also be able to see the beginning of their story. When you play the beta, you’ll be greeted with our first cinematics—shorts that, when Concord launches, will be released weekly in-game. Once the Early Access Beta launches and then the Open Beta begins, we’ll introduce new cinematics in-game to give you a glimpse into how the Northstar crew’s story will unfold each week.
We look forward to seeing you all play the game in the Concord Beta to experience some of the content that will be available when the game launches on August 23rd and will be expanded over time through future updates at launch at no additional cost.
