Jake Solomon, best known for his work on the XCOM series and Marvel's Midnight Suns, is looking to fund a fresh studio in order to"make a new kind of game".after more than two decades to"[embark] on a new chapter".
"[It's] not because the genre isn't amazing - it's where I've spent my life - but I felt like I didn't have anything more to say in that area," Solomon explained. He continued:"And I kind of I realised, as the company was changing, this was my opportunity to think about maybe I should make a change. If I'm ever going to do my own thing, which again Sid [Meier] had started multiple companies and I thought to myself, if I'm ever going to start my own company, which isn't in my nature but... I felt like I can do this, do a whole new thing and be completely in charge of it, and that was just too exciting for me.
"I can't move too far away from what my experience is, and so... I'm a creative director, but the truth is I'm actually a very in-the-weeds system designer. I make games as a creative director but I actually end up designing a lot of the systems for the games. So every game that I've made, I end up designing - even on Midnight Suns, I had some amazing designers but I ended up designing individual heroes, enemies and their abilities. I'm just a very in-the-weeds designer.
