We recently learned that the developer Jade Raymond, in cooperation with Sony, has opened a new studio called Haven. The first project of this studio will be exclusive to the PlayStation 5, and although we do not know much about this project yet, it seems that it will support online gaming features. and live services.
Through an ad for the studio, job listings were posted on LinkedIn and all refer to multiplayer professionals including a Senior Software Engineer, which requires experience in networking, multiplayer, and live service games. At the same time, the ad indicates the studio's need for a basic infrastructure engineer and an online software engineer with experience working with cloud systems.
So far, we do not know the nature of the project that Studio Haven is working on, but through this announcement, it appears that the title will support the game online and provide live services.
This is not the first time that we see one of the studios working on PlayStation titles looking for specialists in online games, as we learned that Studio Insomniac, owned by Sony Corporation, is also looking for specialists in the field of online gaming and multiplayer.
In addition to that, Sony confirmed in previous statements by Jim Ryan that it seeks to expand support for its studios’ games by working on games that support multi-play and providing more titles that work as long-term live services, and this in itself is a clear change in the policy of PlayStation studios that we used to offer We've been running high-quality single-player story games for the past few years.
