GameRant has published an article about the art director of Civ and XCOM forming a new gaming studio, Bit Reactor, with other veterans from Firaxis. The focus of the studio will go more in the direction of XCOM than of Civ, meaning more tactical turn-based games.
We are obviously curious about this development and will follow it closely.
