Must have some heat in the lab

Quote from Hermen Hulst:

"You're right, we could have just carried on in the capacity of them being an external development partner," acknowledges PlayStation Studios head Hermen Hulst. "But what Haven has created is so exciting for us, there was just a desire to deepen that relationship. We have been very impressed with how Haven is coming together.


"It's just easier for us to invest in the team and game more deeply this way. It is testament to the fact we've been very impressed with the progress that Haven has made. They're actually exceeding a lot of the plans, including in terms of time, which very rarely happens in game development, let me tell you. So we thought: Let's invest deeply and do this properly."

This is Sonys first studio in Canada (Montreal), i think they realize its a good talent hub and with Ubisoft bleeding talent this is a good place to pick them up. A lot of this games team is already comprised of Ubisoft talent.

As of right now, this is a big nothing burger but it looks like sony is greatly trying to expand into that region. Deviation games just opened up a second studio in Canada also.

This makes sense..

because Jade has been a nothingburger for years now

I’m not impressed with this one. Jade Raymond is a bit overrated if you ask me. Fingers crossed this purchase works out for Sony though

I also thought Sony would at least wait until the game has shipped and performed before making this decision.

Ubisoft has been running on fumes for damn near close to a decade now. This is down to the developers on a global scale.

It doesn’t really matter if she leaves, sony wants the talent not necessarily just her or the one IP they have in the works. She’s not Kojima. Almost all their acquisitions in the past two years, even insomniac was for talent. Its why they are paying another 1.5B to keep the talent at Bungie in place. Her only purpose right now is attracting the Ubisoft talent

They got insomniac with one successful IP under their belt, gave them spider-man.

They got bluepoint, who have no IP, they gave them Demon’s Souls.

They got Housemarque that have a lot of IP but no breakout hits, they make Returnal in the span of like 3 years.

Valkyrie, Nixxes, etc. They are expanding their talent pool, sony already have IP and superstar game designers.

It’s like Marvel getting a director for their new movie, whether its a big name like Sam Raimi or a small name like the Russo bros were at the time, they already have a well oiled machine thats gonna put out hits, they just need the more people to make them. Sony could put out hits with any game director. Neil Druckmann isn’t Naughty Dog and Cory Barlog isn’t Santa Monica.

If this new game doesn't hit they gonna be on Bungie support duty.
