Overview
- Interim CEO and co‑founder Markus Mäki will continue to lead the studio until Gaudechon starts on March 1, 2026.
- Board chair Henri Österlund said the appointment positions Remedy to accelerate growth and move toward greater independence via self-publishing.
- Gaudechon brings senior leadership experience from Electronic Arts and CCP Games, and most recently served as SVP and group GM at sports app Sleeper.
- Gaudechon said he will protect Remedy’s creative identity, scale the company to build lasting value, stay close to players, and relocate to Finland with his family.
- The leadership search followed the October 2025 departure of CEO Tero Virtala after the studio’s first self-published title, FBC: Firebreak, struggled commercially.
