Jade Raymond has left Haven Studios, the PlayStation-owned studio she founded

Veteran producer Jade Raymond has left Haven Studios, the company she founded in 2021.

According to a new report by Bloomberg, Raymond – who rose to prominence after producing Assassin’s Creed and executive producing Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines and Watch Dogs – has left her studio, which is still in the process of developing online shooter Fairgames.

Although a reason wasn’t given for Raymond’s departure, the report cites sources who note that an external test of Fairgames took place several weeks ago, and that some developers were concerned about how it was received.

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

They added that PlayStation is “committed to supporting Haven Studios and excited to continue the journey”, implying that development on Fairgames will proceed.

The departure rounds off an eventful decade for Raymond, who left Ubisoft to found EA‘s Motive Studio in 2015, before leaving in 2018 for Google Stadia. She founded Haven Studios with PlayStation in 2021.
