Guerrilla Games? Co-founder and Managing Director, Hermen Hulst, will take on a new role within Sony, effective immediately. From here on, Hulst will serve as the Head of Worldwide Studios, the division responsible for managing development across all 14 of Sony?s first party studios. President of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, is leaving his post to adopt a new position, too. He?ll work to develop relationships with external independent studios in a brand-new initiative designed for indies.
In a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, SIE President and CEO Jim Ryan noted that Hulst?s new position will especially be a boon for Sony?s division in Europe, given Hulst?s being European himself. This also seems to serve as another phase of Sony?s restructuring ahead of PlayStation 5?s late 2020 launch. After all, such a shift in management comes just weeks after Shawn Layden, Chairman of Worldwide Studios, unexpectedly departed the company.
