Jean-Charles Gaudechon, a former executive at Electronic Arts, has been named as the new CEO for Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy Entertainment.
Speaking on the company’s official website, Henri Österlund, Remedy Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented:
I am delighted to announce the appointment of Jean-Charles (JC) Gaudechon to lead Remedy into a phase of profitable growth. His proven history in growing gaming franchises and successfully leading international studios is an excellent fit to the current stage of Remedy’s business. Under JC’s leadership, we are well-positioned to significantly accelerate growth, guide Remedy towards greater independence through self-publishing, and deliver sustained value to our players, partners, and shareholders.
Meanwhile, Gaudechon added his own statement for his appointment as Remedy’s new CEO:
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. We will stay close to players, earn their time and trust, and strengthen our independence in how we build and publish our games, while continuing to work closely with the partners who have supported us along the way. I will be moving to Finland with my family and I’m incredibly excited about getting to work directly with the team at the studio.
Back in October 2025, Remedy CEO Tero Virtala was confirmed to have stepped down from their position with Control studio ‘with immediate effect,’ with the role of interim CEO being filled by Markus Maki. The news comes off the back of the disappointing reception to FBC: Firebreak.
