"Nearly three decades after cofounding the Washington-based game studio, Brian Fleming is stepping down as the head of Sucker Punch Productions. The studio best-known for the Ghost, Infamous, and Sly Cooper franchises will be run by fellow veterans Jason Connell and Adrian Bentley starting in 2026. Ghost of Yotei designer Nate Fox will remain co-creative director at the PlayStation first-party team."
"Sucker Punch was founded back in 1997 by Fleming and fellow ex-Microsoft employees Chris Zimmerman, Bruce Oberg, Darrell Plank, Tom Saxton, and Cathy Saxton. The team's first game was a platformer called Rocket: Robot on Wheels for the N64 that barely made a ripple. Shortly after, however, the studio became synonymous with PlayStation after Sony acquired it and Sucker Punch shipped the first Sly Cooper on PlayStation 2."
Brian Fleming is stepping down after nearly three decades leading Sucker Punch Productions and will remain through April to assist the transition before seeking his next role. Jason Connell and Adrian Bentley will run the studio beginning in 2026; they together have 37 years at Sucker Punch, with Connell serving as co-creative director and Bentley as technical director. Nate Fox will remain co-creative director at the PlayStation first-party team. Sony says the studio will continue to focus on ambitious, character-driven experiences that define PlayStation Studios. Sucker Punch’s history includes Rocket: Robot on Wheels, Sly Cooper, Infamous, and the Ghost franchise.
