Jade Raymond, former Chief of Stadia Games & Entertainment is hard at work over at Haven Studios creating the first game. reportedTo have an evolving online environment
In an interview with Le Devoir, Jade Raymond and Haven Studios Co-Founder Pierre-François Sapinski discuss the team’s first project. They also discuss the studio’s expansion and plans to collaborate with Mark Cerny, PS5 architect.
The official title of the game has not yet been released. New details about the game are beginning to reveal what players can expect. Haven envisions a flexible and persistent online environment that can grow with players over time.
It will be available on both the PS5 console as well as on PC. Haven sees this game as a social platform. It is a place where players can play together. This implies that there will be some social interaction beyond the actual gameplay.
Haven Studios hires its first gamer
It takes many people to make a game, especially one that is online and in constant development. Haven has increased its staff in order to get things moving. Haven has tripled its staff since the announcement of the studio’s creation last March.
It plans to keep hiring more staff through 2022. Haven was founded by Jade Raymond, five co-founders, and approximately 20 former Stadia employees. There should be around 78 employees, whichever is less.
The best games possible
Raymond stated that the studio is not only looking to hire more staff, but also to work with Mark Cerny (PS5 designer). The studio can share their expertise to help harness the power and potential of the PS5’s hardware. It will also help to make the best games possible.
Raymond states that Haven’s ambition “will be to push the console’s technical abilities further. We will be able to work with experts in their fields at Sony. This will allow us to create games of the best quality.”
