Long-time PlayStation producer Connie Booth has reportedly left Sony
PlayStation‘s head of internal production Connie Booth is reportedly no longer at Sony.
Former Sony employee David Jaffe, who created the God of War and Twisted Metal series, tweeted on Sunday that there was some “sad, frustrating, potentially super disrespectful news” on the way that would mean “the Sony we all came up with is mostly dead”.
Jaffe later confirmed that he was referring to Booth’s departure, something that has yet to be officially confirmed by either Booth or Sony.
Booth has been at Sony since the early days of PlayStation and has been involved in the production of over 100 games, starting with the original Crash Bandicoot, where she was a senior producer.
Over the years, she’s been involved in production on such series as Spyro the Dragon, Syphon Filter, Ratchet & Clank, SOCOM, Uncharted, Jak and Daxter, inFamous, Resistance, Sly Cooper, The Last of Us, Spider-Man, Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima.
She was also inducted into the Academy of Interactive Arts & Science’s Hall of Fame in 2020 because she was “integral in helping produce many beloved SIE titles over the past 25 years”.
In a video discussing the situation, Jaffe says he had previously only been told Booth had left by people working inside Sony, but has since had the news “verified from people outside of Sony” and therefore felt comfortable discussing it.
It should be noted that despite his video referring to “the axe falling” on Booth, Jaffe later says that he has no idea why Booth has seemingly left the company, and that she could have chosen to leave herself.
