XCOM's Jake Solomon shifts focus to life sim games with new studio.

Jake Solomon, the director of Marvel’s Midnight Suns and the modern XCOM franchise, has announced his departure from Firaxis and his intention to form his own studio to work on a different kind of strategy game. He stated that he likely won't make another turn-based strategy game, and instead plans to make a simulation-style game. Solomon is seeking funding and registering an official name for the company, which will be based in Baltimore.
