Rogue Games announced that Matt Casamassina has taken over as CEO of the indie game publisher after the departure of Mike DeLaet, who left to pursue another opportunity. Previously chief strategy officer at Rogue, Casamassina cofounded the company with former CEO DeLaet in 2017 to bring a new kind of publisher to serve indie and mid-size developers.

Casamassina said in an interview with GamesBeat that the transition will happen smoothly, and the company has additional talent to step into key roles. Bryan Buskas, formerly VP of marketing, will step into a new role as chief operating officer, and former studio head and VP of production Chris Archer will become chief strategy officer.
