Brian Fleming has chosen to step down from the Sucker Punch studio head role after dedicating over three decades to leading support for franchises like Sly Cooper. This decision will feature Jason Connel and Adrian Bentley as the new studio heads for the company on January 1, 2026.
Connel and Bentley are significant figures who previously helped Sucker Punch’s creative and technical departments for its engaging series like Ghost. It’s currently confirmed that Nate Fox will continue to work as the company’s co-creative director for consistent, engaging storytelling. As Sucker Punch prepares for its major transition, it expressed both its gratitude for Brian’s commitment in its previous years and its excitement for the new leadership in the new year.
