Sony seems to be facing multiple issues in its gaming ventures lately. The latest development involves the departure of Jade Raymond from Haven Studios, which has consequently delayed the expected release of the live service shooter Fairgames until 2025.

According to a recent Bloomberg report, this delay follows disappointing results from internal playtests.

Raymond, who previously led the studio after its inception in 2021, aimed to bring a fresh perspective to the shooter that emphasizes heists within a PvP sandbox environment.

After her departure, internal communications suggest that the PlayStation leadership has not disclosed the reasons behind her exit, causing uncertainty among the developers. Questions have arisen concerning the viability of the game after the contentious feedback from testing.

Moreover, this situation follows Sony’s troubles with other live service projects, including cancellations of several unannounced titles, raising concerns about its capability to successfully enter this market segment—despite ongoing attempts to cultivate new studios that target various players’ interests.
