Super Evil Megacorp announced today that it has appointed studio head Ian Fielding as its new CEO, succeeding Kristian Segerstrale. Fielding has, according to Super Evil, been managing the company’s products as part of its long-term strategy, and now takes on the new position following a record year of growth. Segerstrale will shift to the role of executive chair.

Fielding said in a statement, “It’s been an honor to work closely with such a talented leader as Kristian Segerstrale, and I look forward to collaborating with him in his new role. I’m excited for the future of Super Evil as we begin to realize the long term plans we have in motion to grow SEMC into a top tier independent studio with world class talent that creates unforgettable shared gaming experiences.”

Fielding formerly worked at Riot Games, where he worked on League of Legends and Valorant, as well as Insomniac. While working at Super Evil Megacorp, he was the executive producer on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate, which saw successful launches on Switch and PC in 2024. The studio also has several games in the pipeline, including Blood Line: A Rebel Moon Game in a collaboration with Netflix.

Segerstrale added in the statement, “I am very proud of what we have built as a long lasting independent games company. Our recent years’ success is largely thanks to Ian’s capable stewardship. We see an enormous opportunity ahead and I believe Super Evil is set up to succeed with Ian as CEO, as the business leader helming our incredibly committed team.”
