From the Frontlines of Gamemaking, He's Taking His Expertise to the Next Level 🚀
Since Helldivers 2 took the world by storm ⛈️, Johan Pilestedt has become a household name 💡, with the Arrowhead CEO's hands-on nature 👨💻 in terms of sharing updates on the game and openly interacting with its players 🤝 having endeared him to a lot of Super Earth soldiers 💪. Now, Pilestedt's chosen to step down from being a CEO 🏢, staying on at the studio ⚒️ in a capacity that's aimed to allow him to focus more heavily 🔩 on the creative side 🎨 of developing the game.
Yup, one of the very few CEOs 👥 you've ever been able to find responding to posts 📱 in a Reddit community - without coming off like either an annoying 😒 douche or that Steve Buscemi 'how do you do, fellow kids' meme 🤣 - is gonna be getting to do more 💪 of what he seems to love most ❤️, working on Helldivers 🔫. Plus, given that the studio's looking to spend more time ⏰ getting the likes of updates 📊 and patches 💻 for the game just right 👌, after some recent tweaks earned a bit of ire 😠, this move seems like another positive step 🚀 in helping Arrowhead be the best it can be 💯.
So, what's gone down? 🤔 Well, as reported by GamesIndustry.biz 📰, Arrowhead has named Shams Jorjani 👨💼 as its new CEO, with Pilestedt opting to give up that position 👋, while retaining his roles as Arrowhead's chief creative officer 🔮 and chairman 🏰.
