Jade Raymond Steps Down from Her Own Haven Studios Amid Fairgames Development Challenges

The founder and CEO of **Haven Studios**, *Jade Raymond*, has left the organization, as reported by [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-15/playstation-executive-jade-raymond-leaves-studio-she-founded?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc0NzM0MzgxOSwiZXhwIjoxNzQ3OTQ4NjE5LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJTV0JOMllUMEFGQjQwMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.qOIF32mVNJUCz17mJYYZM-YWpEEYhCcjFt6lm8BeeFo&leadSource=uverify%20wall) citing a statement from **Sony**. The roles of CEO will be taken over by executive producer *Marie-Eve Danis* and head of production *Pierre-François Sapinski*.

The reason behind *Raymond’s* departure was not disclosed by **Sony**. However, sources from *Jason Schreier* reported that she left her position just a few weeks after external testing for the online shooter **Fairgames**, which is the studio’s debut title. This led to concerns among some **Haven Studios** employees regarding the game’s reception and progress.

The first and only trailer.

**Fairgames** was initially unveiled in 2023. According to *Schreier*, the shooter was originally scheduled to launch on PC and PS5 in the fall of 2025 but has since been pushed to spring 2026. **Fairgames** is part of **Sony’s** strategy to expand into the service games market; however, many of the planned dozen titles in this category have since been canceled or shut down, including **Concord**.

From a statement by a **Sony** representative, it appears that **Haven Studios** is not in immediate danger. The corporation is committed to supporting **Haven Studios** and is pleased to continue the journey with new leadership.

It’s worth noting that *Jade Raymond* founded **Haven Studios** in [2021](https://stopgame.ru/newsdata/47171/dzheyd_reymond_otkryla_novuyu_studiyu_kotoraya_sdelaet_igru_dlya_playstation). A year later, the team came under the umbrella of **PlayStation**.
