Support NeoGAF

[Draugoth]

​

Jade Raymond, the founder and head of Sony Group Corp.'s game developer Haven Studios, has left the company.

PlayStation leadership didn't give Haven staff a reason for her departure, but it came several weeks after an external test of Haven's first game, the online shooter Fairgames, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Some developers at Haven were concerned about how the game was received and its progress, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they aren't authorized to speak publicly.

"Jade Raymond has been an incredible partner and visionary force in founding Haven Studios," a PlayStation spokesperson said in a statement. "We are deeply grateful for her leadership and contributions, and we wish her all the best in her next chapter."

The spokesperson added that the company is "committed to supporting Haven Studios and excited to continue the journey" with new co-studio heads Marie-Eve Danis and Pierre-François Sapinski.

I bet Fairame$ is done. We'll never see it launch. Flop city x Concord if it does. We should have seen this coming my guys!

Maybe Haven studios can start working on a Wolverine suit or something.
