Remedy Entertainment has confirmed its new CEO. Jean-Charles Gaudechon will step into the role on March 1, 2026. The studio has been in a transition phase since October 2025, when former CEO Tero Virtala stepped down.
Until March, co-founder Markus Mäki will remain interim CEO. He has been guiding the company while the board searched for a permanent replacement.
What this means for Remedy
Gaudechon is not new to the games industry. He brings more than 20 years of experience. He has worked in senior roles at Electronic Arts and CCP Games. That background suggests strong business knowledge alongside industry insight.
In his first message, Gaudechon said he feels honoured to join the studio. He praised Remedy’s creative identity and its upcoming projects. He also stressed keeping the studio’s unique voice while building long-term value.
He confirmed he will move to Finland with his family. His focus will be on working closely with the team. He also spoke about staying connected with players and earning their trust over time.
For Remedy Entertainment, this leadership change comes at an important moment. The studio has several projects in progress, so steady leadership could help shape its next phase.
