Jade Raymond Leaves Fairgame$ Studio, Game Reportedly Delayed To Spring 2026

Jade Raymond, the founder and head of PlayStation owned Haven Studios, has left the company ahead of the studio’s first release. This reportedly comes after poor reception to a test of Haven Studios first game Fairgames.

Reported by Bloomberg, Raymond has left the company a few weeks after the first external place test for Fairgames, the studio’s upcoming live-service multiplayer shooter. Some developers at the studio were reportedly concerned about Fairgames reception and the progress that had been made on the game. PlayStation did not provide a reason for her departure from Haven Studios, but did provide a statement to Bloomberg.

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

Executive producer Marie-Eve Danis and head of production Pierre-François Sapinski will replace Raymond as co-studio heads moving forward, and PlayStation said it is committed to supporting the studio. Bloomberg also reports that as part of this, Fairgames is moving from a Fall 2025 release to Spring 2026, putting it within the Grand Theft Auto 6 release time of May 26, 2026. Fairgames is one of the few remaining live-service games in production at PlayStation after the unreleasing of Concord and the canceling of Blue Point’s live-service God of War project.

Raymond founded Haven Studios in 2021 and previously worked at Ubisoft, where she served as executive producer on games that included Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed: Bloodlines, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and Watch Dogs. She was also the lead on a Star Wars game called Project Ragtag for Electronic Arts, which was canceled.
