Yesterday, we talked about Sony's suddenly Shawn Layden departure, who surprised many Playstation fans and industry personalities.

For the moment, the Company has not yet provided a precise statement on the reasons that led Ladden to part with it. Neither Layden commented on the news of his departure from his office as President of the Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide studios.

However, Gamedaily currently reports a rumor that Sony's vision on PS5 and cloud games have led to separation, as well as a state of confusion in the first and third part on Its next-generation platform due to the secret that surrounds the platform in fear of leaks.

This is the slightest clarity we've ever had on a new console when approaching the transition, the source said. I think the (world restructuring) exponentially exacerbates the already difficult process of the transition to a new generation. And now, we are more and more nervous. Read: Very nervous.

It should also be noted that Layden was part of those who pushed the game solo and the crossed game, what Jim Ryan, the new Director General of Sony Interactive Entertainment, has always shown skeptical, while he still preferred the game In cloud (as is happening with PlayStation now these days) and PS4 remaining outside the console group supporting the multiplat-form game.

All these reasons may have pushed Sony's senior management to decide to separate from Layden, who has been in the company for 27 years.

Even with these rumors, we can say that Shawn Layden's contribution to PlayStation and the world of video game we will miss, not only for what he has recently made with people like dieu of the war, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Spider -Man de Marvel and so on, but also for his work in recent decades.
