Former Assassin's Creed Producer Opens New Studio, Focuses on PlayStation Exclusive Game

Jade Raymond, the producer who was involved in the development of several classic Assassin’s Creed series, brought shocking news yesterday. After his departure from Google Stadia, Raymond has now taken a big step by inaugurating a new independent studio called Haven Studios. This announcement was made in a post on PlayStation Blog, which Raymond explained that the developer will focus on developing PlayStation exclusive games.

Through his comments quoted by the media Gamesindustry.biz, Raymond explained that opening an independent studio with support from Sony Interactive Entertainment gave his team the support to create quality games that prioritized player satisfaction. Exclusive games with high quality have become something that sticks with the PlayStation, and it seems Haven Studios wants to meet that level of quality.

Helmen Hulst as president of Sony Interactive Entertainment also added that his party is proud to be able to provide support and guarantee the future of Haven Studios. He understands very well that building a creative team from scratch is not an easy challenge, including Raymond who does have experience in handling big game franchises like Assassin’s Creed when he was still with Ubisoft.

One interesting piece of information that Hulst shared in his comments was the news that Haven Studios has now started working on its first game project. Of course they can’t share any information yet, because the studio is still newly opened. However, it would be very interesting to see the form of an exclusive game made by developer Raymond, who was previously more experienced as a producer.

Raymond then also commented on the game’s unannounced IP, and said that his team is currently working hard on the development process. So while there’s still nothing to show, he hopes the PlayStation community can look forward to more information in the future.
