As a creator of art, Remedy Entertainment have gone from strength to strength, with many of their recent releases being critical darlings (FBC: Firebreak aside). Unfortunately, their titles have been slow burners sales-wise, with CEO Tero Virtala stepping down late last year. Now, Remedy has officially revealed that Jean-Charles Gaudechon will serve as the company’s new CEO.
Making the announcement via a press release, the team at Remedy Entertainment officially unveiled their new CEO appointee, writing: “Remedy Entertainment Plc’s Board of Directors has today appointed Jean-Charles Gaudechon as the CEO of Remedy Entertainment Plc as of 1st of March 2026.”
Interim CEO / co-founder Markus Mäki will continue to serve the role in the meantime. Speaking on this new position, Gaudechon wrote:
“I’m excited and honored to join Remedy at a pivotal time. The studio has a unique creative identity and a strong pipeline. My commitment is to protect what makes it special, deliver exceptional games, and scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value. Remedy has the voice and the ambition to be a pillar of the industry’s future.”
As mentioned, Remedy Entertainment have been behind some of the most creative games in the AA/AAA space, and so it is unfortunate to see them struggling somewhat to make it big – necessitating a variety of deals in order to ensure the studio’s future. Hopefully this latest appointment will give them the guidance needed to achieve long-term success.
