Firaxis confirms new Civilisation in development as XCOM designer Jake Solomon departs
Strategy focused developer Firaxis has confirmed it's working on a new entry in its long-running Civilization series, with the announcement arriving alongside the news that XCOM and Marvel's Midnight Suns designer Jake Solomon is leaving the studio after 23 years.
The announcement comes as Firaxis promotes Heather Hazen, previously the its chief operating officer, to the position of studio head. Hazen replaces Steve Martin, who served as Firaxis' president and studio head for nearly 17 years.
In a statement accompanying the news, Hazen said, "I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to carry on the studio's storied legacy, beginning with the announcement that Firaxis is in development on the next iteration of the legendary Civilization." Details on the project are thin, but the developer has confirmed Ed Beach, who lead the design of 2016's Civilization 6, will serve as creative director on the new game.
