\"Fairgames<\/a><\/p>\n

Jade Raymond, the founder of Fairgames<\/a> developer Haven Studio, has left the company, Sony has announced via a new Bloomberg<\/a> report.<\/p>\n

A reason for her departure wasn’t shared with the outlet, but it’s said to have come a few weeks after the studio hosted an external test of its PS5 live-service game, which reportedly raised concerns for “some developers”. According to the report, there are worries surrounding how the title was received during the test and how far along the project actually is.<\/p>\n

Officially, Sony said the following to Bloomberg: “Jade Raymond has been an incredible partner and visionary force in founding Haven Studios. We are deeply grateful for her leadership and contributions, and we wish her all the best in her next chapter.”<\/p>\n

PlayStation added it’s “committed to supporting Haven Studios and excited to continue the journey” it’s on with the title.<\/p>\n

Jade Raymond is best known for her time at Ubisoft, where she helped create the first Assassin’s Creed<\/a> game and Watch Dogs<\/a>. However, she hasn’t been a part of a developer that’s shipped a game since Star Wars Battlefront 2<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n

The news raises more questions around Sony’s push into the live-service space in recent years. While it achieved unexpected success with Helldivers 2<\/a>, it faced instant failure in Concord<\/a> and has cancelled a handful of projects from traditionally single player developers within PlayStation that were going to be Games as a Service. This included a reported God of War<\/a> spin-off. Not cancelled yet, Fairgames is one of the last remaining titles from this live-service effort, and it’s apparently due out in 2026 after an internal delay out of this year.<\/p>\n
