Jade Raymond, previously a producer on the Assassin’s Creed series, and most recently a Vice President of ‘Stadia Games and Entertainment’ at Google (which is now no-more) have announced a new studio in Monreal; this time partnering up with Sony. Haven Studios will be working on a new IP, though no other details were given.

And so today I’m announcing Haven, an independent studio where many of the talented game developers I have worked with for years (and love dearly!) are coming together to do what we are most passionate about. It’s time for us to refocus on GAMES in a place where we can practice our crafts without any barriers or impediments. We want to create worlds where players can escape, have fun, express themselves, and find community. We want to pour our passion into a project. We want to make something wondrous for people to experience. Because we believe in the power of games to bring joy to people’s lives. And Sony does, too. Their commitment to excellence is unmatched. It’s why I couldn’t be happier for their backing and support.

We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for what’s coming out of this brand new studio!
