Gaudechon, 48, joins Remedy after more than two decades in global gaming, including senior leadership roles at Electronic Arts and CCP Games, the Finnish studio behind game series Alan Wake and Max Payne announced yesterday. Control Resonant, a sequel to the 2019 release Control, is an action role-playing game slated to be launched this year.
The appointment of the new CEO follows a volatile year for Remedy, which returned to positive operating profit in late 2025, according to its annual report released today. For the full year, Remedy Entertainment’s revenue increased by 17.5% to EUR 59.5 million, supported by higher game sales and royalties. The annual result was negative due to a EUR 14.9 million non-cash impairment, despite EBITDA improving to EUR 11.3 million.
Henri Österlund, chairman of the board of directors, said that "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.”
Gaudechon highlighted his commitment to protect what makes Remedy special and scale the studio in a way that builds lasting value, adding that he will relocate to Finland to work closely with the team.
