Brian Fleming, co-founder and longtime studio head of Sucker Punch, is stepping down from his role.

From January 1, Jason Connell and Adrian Bentley will become the new studio heads, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced. Jason was the co-creative director on the Ghost series, and Adrian was the Technical Director, leading engineering and production.

Sucker Punch has been a PlayStation first-party studio since 2011. The studio is known for Sly Cooper, InFamous, and Ghost of Tsushima.

Earlier this year, Fleming spoke about the studio’s future and its focus on doing one project at a time.

“The truth is that whatever we do next, whether it’s continuing Ghost or going back to Sly, the decision is really more limited by, again, our cherishing of focus and time to iterate, which means that we really can only do one thing at a time,” he said.

“If we were good at juggling four projects, yeah, we’d have a remaster, and let’s go do one of those, and one of those, and do some fan request, that would be really popular.

“But we only get to do one thing. So it kind of has to be your best idea, right? And that’s really clarifying. It’s not like there aren’t 15 good ideas. But you only get to do one. And by the way, you only get to do one about every five years.

“So that choice is really important. I mean, that is choosing your college and your major every five years… that’s a really big decision, so you better think carefully about it.”
