Remedy Finds New CEO in Former EA Exec Jean-Charles Gaudechon

Image
Control and Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment has named Jean-Charles Gaudechon as its new CEO. The company’s board of directors announced the news with a post on its website today. Co-founder Markus Mäki will continue to serve as interim CEO until the leadership change takes effect March 1, 2026. “I’m excited and honored to join Remedy at a pivotal time,” Gaudechon said in a statement. “The studio has a unique creative identity and a strong pipeline. My commitment is to protect what makes it special, deliver exceptional games, and scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value.” Mäki took over as interim CEO after former Remedy CEO, Tero Virtala, resigned from his position in October 2025. It was a sudden shakeup that arrived after the studio’s summer multiplayer FPS and its first self-published game, FBC: Firebreak , failed to impress on a commercial and critical level (we gave it a 6/10 ). Virtala was with Remedy for just over nine years, leaving the Espoo, Finland-ba...

Rayman Creator Discusses The Rayman 'Remake' Ubisoft Has Yet to Announce

Image
More details of the unannounced Rayman remake have bubbled up again, this time from the creator of Rayman himself, Michel Ancel. In a new interview with RetroGamer , Ancel discussed the secret project, confirming that rather than a remaster that simply presents the same game with slightly snazzier visuals, the re-release — which Ancel calls a "remake" — will also address some of the original platformer's pain-points, including additional checkpoints to "make it a bit less frustrating." "I think Rayman is still a fun game, and there's a lot of content," Ancel said in the interview that was shared by fan account, Rayman Merchandise. "The pacing is a bit slow because you have a big character on the screen. It also has pixel-precise gameplay, so it's not always easy, but it's interesting that the constraints of yesterday make it still feel original today. Even though it's complex, I think there's a kind of remake planned....

Pokémon's Super Bowl Ad Asks Lady Gaga, Trevor Noah, and More 'What's Your Favorite' Pokémon?

Image
Pokémon's promised ad spot at the Super Bowl just aired, and in it we got a glimpse into the Pokémon preferences of celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Trevor Noah, Charles Leclerc, and more. The minute-long ad shows Lady Gaga, Trevor Noah, Formula One racer Charles Leclerc, singer Jisoo, actor Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, Spanish football (soccer, for the Americans) player Lamine Yamal and rapper Young Miko all describing their favorite Pokémon before eventually revealing them. Lady Gaga (of course) picked Jigglypuff, and Jigglypuff even did a brief little duet with her singing its signature song. Trevor Noah prefers Psyduck, Leclerc chooses Arcanine, Jisoo picks Eevee, Ramakrishnan chooses Luxray, Yamal picks Zygarde, and Young Miko's partner is Gengar. Shockingly, The Pokémon Company managed not to put Pikachu in this ad anywhere (except in the logo, of course)! The ad ends with all the celebrities asking the audience, "What's your favorite?" This question is the st...
