Sony has announced Haven Entertainment Studios, a new independent studio founded by industry veteran Jade Raymond, who previously ran Google Stadia's in-house developers until it recently shut down. Raymond officially introduced Haven Entertainment on the PlayStation Blog, where she revealed that Haven will be a passion project led by "talented game developers" with whom she has worked "for years." “It is time for us to refocus GAMES to a place where we can practice our crafts without barriers or obstacles,” Raymond wrote. “We want to create worlds where players can escape, have fun, express themselves, and find community. We want to put our passion at the service of a project. We want to do something wonderful for people to experience. Because we believe in the power of games. to brighten people's lives. And Sony too. His commitment to excellence is unmatched. That's why I couldn't be happier for your support and encouragement. In addition to the studio announcement itself, Raymond also revealed that Haven Studios (as it will be referred to informally) is already working on a new, unannounced PlayStation IP. While no details have been shared about the exact nature of this new IP address, we expect it to be exclusive to PS5.
