Arrowhead had an explosive start to the year when Helldivers 2 launched, as the game quickly opened to positive reviews and sales. With that momentum–and one controversial decision by Sony–behind it, Arrowhead is looking to the future as it continues to establish its identity while defying industry norms.
Part of this strategy includes the appointment of Shams Jorjani as Arrowhead’s CEO, allowing the studio’s chief creative officer and former CEO Johan Pilestedt to focus on creating games. Together, the two partners aim to turn Arrowhead into the next From Software or Blizzard.
