Jade Raymond has left PlayStation's Haven Studios

Bailing out of the studio she founded before releasing a game is wild lol. To everyone that expected a Concord 2, here it comes.
This isn't even the first time she's done this. Look at her Wikipedia, it's wild. She left Ubishit in 2017 and hasn't done jack shit since then but has hopped from job to job collecting paychecks along the way.

The only person who didn't see this coming is Hermen Hulst.

Every time we need him to chime in, he's banned :(
 
Seems like an internal test didn't go well.

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.
Totoki's big review strikes again I guess.

Draugoth Draugoth pls update the OP link with this one as it's un-paywalled

Why's she always leaving these studios?

She was at Ubisoft montreal during their PEAK when a whole team made Assassin's Creed and she got way too much fucking credit for it. Now moving from job to job everything is vaporware/fumbling and she leaves the sinking ship. Her name nowadays has zero value, 0.
 
Playstation is so fucked mid-longterm. They did everything wrong last 5 years.
They really have made some massive mistakes but I believe they did it at a time where they can afford it. If anything, I think these are shorter-term mistakes that they will recover from before the PS6 hype starts. Unless there is more to come.
 
By the way the thread title is a little inflammatory. Please change it to Jade Raymond is currently not at Haven but for all we know could be just taking a bathroom break.
 
Next stop: Bungie.

After that, Bend.

And the last, Media Molecule.
Good riddance…shit throw Ubisoft and EA and Activision on the dumpster fire pile also🔥

Bet Sony is still feeling this way:

Sony reportedly very confident with Jade Raymond's Fairgame$

 
Sony's disastrous pivot to GaaS continues to fail spectacularly. Hopefully this project gets cancelled and Marathon flops — finally putting the nail in the coffin of this ignominious initiative
 
Has she ever shipped anything other than an AC game. I think she has bounced around since then. Starting projects but not shipping.

She did help create some of the better AC games.
 
Well at least Sony is learning that simply buying random studios\talent doesn't work. MS also had to learn this lesson the hard way. Best time for Sony to learn it at least with all the money they are pulling in.
 
Seen here name in the industry for years since the first assassin's Creed I believe? Everything she's connected to she seems to leave so I don't know what this lady really does. Seems like nothing?
