Leak Concord Director Has Stepped Down, Layoffs Expected At Firewalk

[Gwenievre]

A Kotaku report says Concord game director Ryan Ellis has stepped down from his position at Firewalk Studios, and will take on a "support role" instead.

Three sources told the site that Ellis, a former director on Destiny 2 who left Bungie in 2016 and founded Firewalk in 2018, announced his stepdown last week, shortly after Sony took the game offline in order to "explore options" that will "better reach our players."

The writing’s on the wall. Everyone can see it—Firewalk Studio’s days are numbered.

I really hope this puts an end to all these same-looking games, but I’m sure the next expo will still announce a ton of them.

Yet another studio is about to shut down, and people will celebrate just because the game didn’t hit the mark.
