The co-op third-person shooter, published by PlayStation and developed by Arrowhead Games, was released in February and sold 12 million copies in three months. It is now PlayStation’s fastest-selling game, even bigger than God of War, Spider-Man, or Uncharted.

Helldivers 2 Developer Arrowhead Gets New CEO

Arrowhead Game Studios has named Shams Jorjani as its new CEO, replacing company founder Johan Pilestedt. Pilestedt will stay on as chief creative officer and chairman. This change follows the huge success of Helldivers 2, which sold 12 million copies since its release in February on PS5 and PC.

Jorjani has a lot of experience in the gaming industry. He spent 12 years in senior roles at Paradox Interactive, chaired indie publisher Hooded Horse, and advises various game businesses.

Pilestedt explained to GamesIndustry.biz that having a dedicated CEO will allow him to focus more on game creation while providing the company with strong leadership.

He realized he had to choose between his passion for creating games and managing the business as the company grew beyond 120 developers.

Over the past year, as they launched Helldivers 2, he found himself spending more time on business matters and less on creative work. This led him to reach out to Jorjani about becoming the new CEO.

Jorjani said that his role will be to provide organization and leadership. He wants to set up the team for consistent success, allowing Pilestedt and the team to focus on making great games. His experience at Paradox, where he helped grow the company, will help Arrowhead Game Studios run smoothly and effectively.

The goal is to support Johan and the team in creating more games like Helldivers by building a strong structure around them.
