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.

Jesus Christ man...Unbelievable!
I can´t believe that Playstation Studios can´t manage to develop and deliver ONE single successful high quality first party LS game throughout the whole current generation!
Hermen Hulst needs to be fired ASAP! He´s Jimbo 2.0!
But you pay $80 for it, we don’t 😉
And you still don’t have everything we have.
But you admit the main reason to buy a PS5 is Xbox games? Good. We’re on the same page. Sony first party is dead and worthless.
Can you stop the fanboying for 2 seconds? Seriously this deflecting and ignoring everything that's going on with Sony's first party the past few years is frustrating and ignorant. You know there's others who have a PS also and want Sony's best like we use to get right? Stop trying to ruin it for everyone else with side steps. Not this BS deflecting that you ppl constantly do.
Besides HD what other LS game thrived so far? Has Herman made good buissness choices and decisions when it comes to LS yes or no?
Start questioning PS Studios.
@Lightning
Fanboy? You talking about me, or yourself? We got alt guy over here with his brand new account burning up from rage, and you are asking me stop “fan boying”?
Sony have at least 3 first party heavy hitters coming up, that we know of, and its not like we are lacking in exclusives department.
As to LS, they had Helldivers, and GT7, both were resounding success. They had a complete flop in concord. Not sure why you think we need to be concerned. They are destroying the competition and that market share translates to games.
"Fanboy? You talking about me, or yourself?"
What's are you talking about how am I a fanboy? Those alt counts will be gone nobody will see them anyway.
I wouldn't call Marathon a heavy hitter and Yotei yes definitely. However they do have DS2 I just feel like there should be more. We all know why there isn't more.
They only have two LS HD as I mentioned and I totally forgot about Grand Turismo. Only 2 While canceling Twisted Metal and Spiderman LS. Who knows the quality at least those games sound compelling.
Btw MLB isn't a live service its a Yearly released sports game.
Yeah hate to break it to you Sony but I think they need to shelve their LS efforts almost all together. They formed LFG ex Bungie guys and making another LS but I don't have much hope for it anymore. Marathon is quickly getting overshadowed by Arch Raiders, We all know what happened to Concord.
Only solution I can think of is have 3rd party like a Arrowhead make them a LS game. Speaking of AH their next project is completely funded by them so it won't be from them. I just think it's a good idea that they seek a 3rd party for LS. They'll save time, money and won't take time away their SP efforts. Which is suffering immensely this gen due to all this LS.
It might come out it might not. Sony said they're still pushing the project. That's a good thing. Even if it does come out will it be any good? There's too many questions and hurdles surrounding the LS.
Bigger question when are we gonna see it? Will they have a PS showcase or State Of Play? Grubb said Sony was debating whether to have a showcase, SOP or anything.
I sure hope they have a showcase or something in the coming weeks. I want Sony first party and their teams not just Xbox events and shows basically saving the damn day at this point.
Of all the companies it's freakin Xbox that's doing it. Who'd a thought.
Live services games are hard to make & and even harder to make if you trying to create an original game.
Just copy and past succesful gaas or gacha games with their anime license they can easy make a overwatch or geshin impact clone.
TNS - Atmosphere CFW developer has publicly said that he will not be making a version for the Switch 2, and the console might be virtually unhackable.
It looks like Atmosphere CFW won’t be coming to the Switch 2, as its developer has stated they won’t be working on a version for it. Additionally, early reports suggest that the Switch 2 might be significantly harder to hack, possibly due to improved security measures. If Nintendo has tightened its hardware and software protections, it could mean fewer homebrew and modding options compared to the original Switch.
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
Yeah no that is not a good term for every ARPG. Just use Diablo-clone as they do already.
We used to call Diablo games hack and slash RPGs.
It's like the guy who comes up with his own nickname...
You mean Gauntlet? You're welcome.
to be fair we used to say diablo-like since D2 but that tweet when POE2 presentation will go down in history.
From this day forth, im saying POE-like
