Jade Raymond Establishes Studio Haven for PS5 Games
Sony has taken care of another small studio that will be developing games with PlayStation consoles in mind. This time it's the newly formed Haven Entertainment Studios founded by Jade Raymond.
Sony Interactive Entertainment has taken under its wing a newly formed independent team, Haven Entertainment Studios. The announcement (via the official PlayStation blog ) was made by Haven's founder and CEO Jade Raymond.
"I’m announcing Haven, an independent studio where many of the talented game developers I have worked with for years (and love dearly!) are coming together to do what we are most passionate about. It’s time for us to refocus on GAMES in a place where we can practice our crafts without any barriers or impediments.
We want to create worlds where players can escape, have fun, express themselves, and find community.[...] We want to make something wondrous for people to experience. Because we believe in the power of games to bring joy to people’s lives. And Sony does, too. Their commitment to excellence is unmatched. It’s why I couldn’t be happier for their backing and support."
Jade Raymond has been working in the video game industry for 25 years, so we're not talking about an untried indie studio here. The developer can boast of experience in companies such as Ubisoft (founder of the Toronto branch) or Motive Studios belonging to Electronic Arts (founder).
Haven Entertainment Studios is currently working on an untitled project aiming at PlayStation release, but we'll probably have to wait a bit longer for any details. Possible announcements will probably be posted on the company's website, to which you can find a link below.
