Again in Might, it was reported that exterior playtests for the studio’s first recreation, Fairgames, led to unfavorable suggestions. Then, simply weeks later, Haven Studios founder, Jade Raymond, abruptly left the corporate, a transfer that induced one video games trade analyst to proclaim that the sport has been cancelled. The sport hasn’t really been publicly cancelled but, but it surely did simply lose its artistic director.
Daniel Drapeau, the Recreation Director behind Fairgames, has left Haven Studios after 4 and a half years engaged on the challenge. Now Drapeau is a artistic director at WB Video games Montreal, the studio answerable for Gotham Knights. Sony and Haven Studios haven’t issued any public touch upon this most up-to-date departure and even Drapeau himself solely quietly revealed the knowledge with an replace on LinkedIn.
Initially introduced in 2023 as ‘Fairgame$’, the multiplayer title is about to supply co-op heists with fast action-packed matches and reside service parts. The sport was one in every of at the least a dozen ‘reside service’ titles greenlit beneath Jim Ryan’s tenure as head of PlayStation. After Ryan departed, Sony started cancelling many of those tasks, however Fairgames was one in every of only a handful to outlive.
Fairgames is at the moment attributable to launch in ‘Spring 2026′ for PS5 consoles, assuming it would not get cancelled.
KitGuru Says: Haven Studios seems to be in a free fall for the time being. Possibly Sony will give an replace on the standing of Fairgames later this month, as hearsay has it {that a} new State of Play showcase is due.
