I don't know how they expected to succeed without any marketing. I hadn't seen hide nor hair of this game, even on my PS5 (where they usually advertise the absolute hell out of a 1st party title like this), until the day it released.
Or how their game being just another hero shooter/moba crossover in a sea of such games would differentiate itself enough to warrant also costing $40 instead of being like its competition which is FREE.
People keep saying thia, but there's really only 2 of any worth. Overwatch and Paladins.
Where is this ocean of games?
Smite. Apex Legends. Team Fortress 2. Valorant. Rainbow Six Siege.
And these are just the popular ones.
I think The Finals is one as well?
And Deadlock is taking off. It "launched" (if you can call it that) sometime between when Concord released and when Concord was retracted.
