PlayStation's latest multiplayer shooter, Concord, is in the hands of players, and we're able to get to grips with the 16 characters that you can play as.
Each of them has their own unique combat abilities, weapons, and even different sizes and health pools which drastically change how they feel to play.
When first starting, it's worth experimenting to find a few heroes that you enjoy in each category, as you'll get the most out of switching between them mid-match thanks to their Crew Bonuses.
Let's go through each character you can play right now so you can get a feel for which ones might suit your playstyle best.
Anchors
Anchor characters are your typical Tank-type heroes, who have much a much larger stature and bigger health pools to match.
These heroes move much more slowly than other characters, and their abilities usually involve mitigating damage with shields rather than dealing it out themselves.
All Anchor characters provide the 'increased healing received' Crew Bonus.

Haunts
Haunt characters are extremely focused on movement abilities, with triple jumps and jetpacks all thrown into the mix. They don't have a huge amount of damage potential, but if you manage to reach the relatively high skill ceiling, they can be devastating in the right hands.
