Pilestedt remains with Arrowhead Game Studios, becoming the Creative Director and Chairman of the Board. In an interview with GamesIndustry, he mentioned that he will now be able to focus more on games rather than business.
The CEO position at Arrowhead Game Studios has been taken over by Shams Jorjani, who previously held executive positions at Paradox Interactive for over 12 years, including being the company’s Director of Business Development.
Pilestedt emphasized that he will still influence the studio’s management. He told GamesIndustry that Arrowhead Game Studios intends to remain an independent studio and is not considering going public or selling. Currently, Arrowhead Game Studios is in a strong financial position and plans to grow. Pilestedt hopes that in the future, the studio will become the next FromSoftware or Blizzard Entertainment.
