PlayStation has agreed to fully acquire Haven Studios, the development team led by Assassin’s Creed, Star Wars and Google games veteran Jade Raymond.
It follows Sony’s initial investment in the studio in March last year. Ever since, the team has been working on an exclusive new IP for PlayStation, which has now been revealed as a ‘live service experience built upon a systemic and evolving world’.
Post-acquisition the studio will continue to be run by the current management team in close collaboration with PlayStation.
The acquisition will mark Sony’s first foray into the huge Canadian games development scene,
