XCOM Director Jake Solomon Plans New Studio for Life Simulator Game
TL;DR
Jake Solomon, former designer and director at Firaxis, plans to open a new studio and create a "systems-based game" that is more of a life simulator or simulation-style game. Solomon, who worked on XCOM 2 and Marvel's Midnight Suns, wants to move away from turn-based strategy games and focus on system design. He left Firaxis after two decades to pursue a new dream and is currently seeking funding to register an official name for his Baltimore-based studio.
