Future of PlayStation live service project, Fairgames, thrown into further doubt as director leaves studio

Daniel Drapeau, recently the game director on Fairgames at Haven Studios, has announced his new role as a creative director over at Warner Bros Montreal.

The move adds further doubt to the status of Fairgames, the live-service shooter published by Sony, following the departure of studio founder Jade Raymond.

Drapeau announced the change in a LinkedIn post: “As of this week, I joined WB Games Montreal Inc. as Creative Director. I can’t wait to start this wonderful adventure with all the great people here at the studio. I also want to particularly thank Yves Lachance, Logan A. Lesage and Bryan Theberge for their trust and support throughout the process. Now, let’s do this!”

There’s no word on what game Drapeau is working on as of writing, as nothing is listed on his Linkedin. We do know that Warner Bros is working on a new live service title, thanks to an executive producer job listing over at Warner Bros Montreal no less. Whether or not Drapeau is working on this project or something else entirely remains unconfirmed.

While this is a nice bit of news for Warner Bros Games, especially given the recent overhaul of its leadership team, it marks another wound for Fairgames. The game, first announced in May 2023, has been a ghost ever since, beyond Ramond’s departure earlier this year.
