Sucker Punch Productions, the studio behind the popular Ghost of Tsushima, has seen some major leadership changes. Co-founder Brian Fleming has departed, and two new leaders will now guide the company’s direction.
Brian Fleming has been a co-founder and producer at Sucker Punch Productions since 1998. Over the years, the team has consistently delivered popular and successful games, including the Sly Cooper and inFamous series, and the highly praised Ghost of Tsushima, spanning across multiple PlayStation consoles from the original PlayStation to the PS5. December 16th marks an important date in the studio’s impressive history.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the big news through a blog post on December 16.
According to the article, Jason Connell and Adrian Bentley are now leading the studio with fresh content and concepts, marking a new beginning. It also clarifies that Fleming has spent the past year collaborating with PlayStation Studios to guarantee a smooth transition and future success for Sucker Punch.
Here’s a more in-depth look at the statement:
Over the past few years, Jason and Adrian have been key figures in guiding the creative and technical vision of Sucker Punch. As Co-Creative Director for the Ghost of Tsushima series, Jason significantly influenced the studio’s look and how stories are told, delivering a more cinematic and emotionally impactful experience for PlayStation gamers worldwide.
As Technical Director, Adrian has spearheaded the studio’s engineering and production, fostering innovation in the tools and systems that bring Sucker Punch’s games to life. He embodies the studio’s long-standing commitment to combining creative ideas with strong technical skills.
Nate Fox will continue as Co-Creative Director to complete the overall creative leadership team.”
The message ends by wishing Fleming well and letting fans know the future of Sucker Punch is bright under its new leadership. It also includes a curious final note about “Crafting new adventures.”
It’s not surprising to hear that Sucker Punch Productions could be working on a new installment in either the Sly Cooper or inFamous series after finishing Ghost of Tsushima. While the studio hasn’t announced its next project, it will be developed with a new leader at the helm.
