Pilestedt remained at Arrowhead Game Studios, becoming Creative Director and Chairman of the Board. In an interview with GamesIndustry, he said that he will now be able to pay more attention to games rather than business.
The CEO position at Arrowhead Game Studios has been taken by Shams Jorjani, who had previously worked for more than 12 years in leadership roles at Paradox Interactive. In particular, he was the Director of Business Development for the company.
Pilestedt emphasized that he will still have an influence on the studio's management. He informed 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 solid financial position and plans to grow. Pilestedt hopes that in the future the studio will become the next FromSoftware or Blizzard Entertainment.
