Patrick Söderlund is the founder and CEO of Embark Studios, the maker of Arc Raiders. And Arc Raiders, you may have heard, is something of a hit—well, no, it's a huge hit, one of the biggest releases of 2025 and enough to give Bungie some serious flop sweat about Marathon. It did so well, in fact, that Nexon, Embark's parent company, has decided to put Söderlund in charge of all its creative endeavors.
Söderlund has been appointed Nexon's executive chairman, a new role that gives him "broad authority over the company’s long-term strategy, creative direction, and how Nexon develops games globally." Simply put, Söderlund will call the shots on the creative side of things, while Nexon CEO Junghun Lee handles the biz. Söderlund will also continue on as CEO of Embark.
