PlayStation Has acquired Haven Studios, led by Jade Raymond, a veteran of Ubisoft, EA, and Google Stadia.
PlayStation added another studio to its first-party roster today with the announcement of its acquisition of Haven Studios. Though Haven isn’t as immediately recognizable as some of the other companies Sony has recently purchased for PlayStation, it comes with a valuable member at its head: Industry veteran Jade Raymond. Raymond has been in the games industry a long time, and anyone who played games over the last decade has probably seen her name in the credits at least once. Raymond’s list of credits is lengthy, though she’s best known for helping kickstart the Assassin’s Creed and Watch Dogs franchises for Ubisoft and later founding EA Motive, the developer behind Star Wars: Squadrons and EA’s upcoming Dead Space remake. Before founding Haven Studios, Raymond joined and ran Google’s in-house Stadia game development team, Stadia Games and Entertainment.
