A globally respected gaming industry technology veteran with over 30 years of experience, Julien Merceron will lead internal development as Chief Technology Officer of Delphi Interactive.

As Delphi Interactive CTO, Julien Merceron will oversee the company’s technical and development strategy.

Julien Merceron’s work will include work on the reimagined FIFA football simulation game, which is set to launch exclusively on Netflix this year.

He will also work closely with FIFA Game Executive Producer Theodor Tang-Peronard and the company’s senior technical and creative leadership as FIFA Games are reimagined from the ground-up.

Theodor Tang-Peronard, Partner at Delphi Interactive and Executive Producer of the FIFA game, said the following:

“Julien is known for football games people loved because they were built with fun and feel at the center.

That way of thinking is core to how we’re reimagining FIFA in simulation for a much broader audience.

Julien’s experience brings a level of clarity that sharpens our decisions and helps ensure the game is easy to pick up, yet still has depth.”

Julien Merceron also said the following:

“Delphi and Refactor share a very specific approach as we reimagine FIFA Games for the future.

With small, elite teams of top-tier designer and developer talent, we can stay true to the core creative vision and serve the great fandom of football.

In a way, we are returning to the principles that made the great football games of the past.”

On that note, the new FIFA title from Delphi Interactive will be available exclusively to Netflix members this summer, just in time for the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
