XCOM Designer Jake Solomon Shifts Focus to Life Sim for Next Game
TL;DR Summary
Jake Solomon, the designer behind XCOM, has left Firaxis Games after 23 years to start his own studio. Solomon wants to try something different from the turn-based genre where he made his name and is interested in creating a life simulator or simulation-style game. This could potentially put him in competition with The Sims 5, which is already facing competition from other life simulator games. Solomon's new studio doesn't have a name yet and he is still looking for funding.
