In some pretty massive news, it’s been announced that PlayStation legend (and current head of Indies) Shuhei Yoshida will leave Sony on January, 15th 2025 after 31 years with the company.
Speaking on the PlayStation podcast, Yoshida said: “I’m leaving Sony Interactive Entertainment on January 15, 2025… it’s like announcing the launch date of a new game, [something] I haven’t done for a long time [laughs].”
Yoshida has been with PlayStation since the very beginning, overseeing the creation of many of PlayStation’s most iconic gaming franchises as Head of PlayStation Studios originally. He has overseen the development of many iconic PlayStation franchises including Crash, Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter, God of War, Ape Escape, Parappa the Rappa and many, many more titles.
In response to a Tweet, Yoshida said that he’d like to remain in the industry, so hopefully we’ll still seem him sticking around.
No, I'd like to stay in the industry 🙂
