After 15 years, Remedy Entertainment CEO resigns to join Wargaming

At 15 years on the job and the 20th year for the company, Remedy Entertainment chief executive Matias Myllyrinne announced he has resigned from the publisher that brought us games like Alan Wake and Max Payne. He’s leaving to take a job at World of Tanks publisher Wargaming.

Myllyrinne will be replaced by Remedy cofounder Markus Mäki, who will become executive chairman of Remedy. Remedy is still working on a major exclusive for Microsoft’s Xbox One: Quantum Break, which has been delayed until 2016. The departure is a big change for a company that has set itself apart in games, but has also played a big role in spawning many of Finland’s successful game startups.
