Jade Raymond, a notable figure in the gaming industry, has officially left Haven Studios, the developer behind the promising live-service shooter Fairgame$. This news comes as a surprise, given that no updates had been shared since the game's initial announcement. In a statement to Bloomberg, PlayStation acknowledged her contributions, stating that Raymond was a visionary in founding the studio, alongside co-studio heads Marie-Eve Danis and Pierre-François Sapinski who will now steer the ship.
Rumors suggest that internal concerns surfaced regarding Fairgame$’s development, especially after some recent testing phases. Originally set for a Fall 2023 release, expectations have now been reset to a Spring 2026 launch, reflecting a trend of delays at Sony following the cancellation of other live-service titles.
Gamers are left wondering about the future of Fairgame$ and whether it will make it to the finish line for PS5 and PC. With high-profile projects facing cancellation, like the multiplayer aspects of The Last of Us and a God of War title, the landscape of live-service gaming is looking uncertain. Only time will tell where this journey leads for Haven Studios and its flagship title.
