It was reported earlier this week by God of War and Twisted Metal series creator David Jaffe PlayStation head of internal production Connie Booth had left the company and now Sony has confirmed this is the case.
A PlayStation representative in a statement sent to Axios stated Booth "helped drive the success PlayStation Studios is experiencing today and her passion in fostering an environment where a team's creative vision could fully flourish has left a positive impact on many game developers."
The representative added, "We're thankful for Connie's numerous contributions to the company and wish her the best in future endeavors."
The PlayStation representative did not give a reason for why Booth has left the company and Booth has yet to comment on her departure.
Booth had worked at PlayStation since the early days and been involved in the production of over 100 games, starting with the original Crash Bandicoot as a senior producer. She has also been involved with Ratchet & Clank, inFAMOUS, SOCOM, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Days Done, Marvel's Spider-Man, and more.

"Days DONE" hahaha i dont know if it was intentional but is hilarious
Wow.....34 years! What a track record! You'd think for someone with such a long tenure and importance to the history of the division that she would have come out with a statement or something. Having her departure confirmed by a representative to a specific media source like Axios seems weird.
The representative adding "We're thankful for Connie's numerous contributions to the company and wish her the best in future endeavors." seems to tell me that she's not retiring.
I saw where Jaffe suggested she didn't leave amicably, seems like they ousted her.
Well I will say, someone with her career at Sony leaving out of no where does seem suspect. I wonder now that its out will she do any interviews because I am sure a host of people are asking.
She's not a particularly public figure, hence why almost noone on forums knew who she was until this news. I doubt her leaving would've been anymore public than it was.
She has an amazing record and will easily have jobs lined up. That's all that really matters.
I'm curious about what happened here. Wonder if it's a political thing.
