Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead recently saw some big leadership changes, as the third-person shooter's creative director Johan Pilestedt stepped down as CEO and passed the reins to Paradox Interactive veteran Shams Jorjani. Pilestedt is now chief creative officer, with Jorjani's takeover of his former role allowing him to "focus more on games and not have to deal with HR policies." 

As well as working at Paradox Interactive for 12 years, Jorjani is also the chairman of the board for Manor Lords publisher Hooded Horse, which announced his new role saying that he'll now "also be helping one of the coolest game studios on the planet." Responding to this, Hooded Horse's community director Matt Palacio, wrote: "I’m ready for the Helldivers x Hooded Horse game crossovers. Democracy for every game."
