Sony canceled the service shooter Fairgames
Sony has decided to discontinue the development of the service shooter Fairgames, which Haven Studios has been developing since 2021, according to Bloomberg journalist Jason Shreyer.
Haven Studios will remain part of PlayStation Studios and will assist other Sony teams, as well as begin searching for new creative opportunities.
The reason for the cancellation was the results of the last test involving several thousand players.According to Bloomberg, in an internal letter to developers Sean Decker and John Doyle, they acknowledged that Fairgames had not achieved its goals.
Given the need to maintain the game after release and the difficult situation in the competitive shooter market, we made the difficult decision to stop development
The final closed-end Fairgames tests were conducted via the Player.gg platform and were held in September on PlayStation 5 and PC. Prior to that, new footage of the project, including video, appeared on the network.
Fairgames (Project Espresso) was described as a third-person team shooter with PvPvE elements. Participants had to break into protected areas, steal valuables, and pick up prey, while simultaneously confronting security and other players.
Over the past three years, Fairgames has been reworked several times, with plans to re-release it under a new name.
Haven Studios was founded by Assassin's Creed producer Jay Raymond. In 2022 Sony acquired the studio and made it part of PlayStation Studios.
