Ex-XCOM and The Sims devs launch Midsummer Studios to reinvent life sims


Former developers of XCOM and The Sims have launched Midsummer Studios to reinvent the life sim genre.

The Hunt Valley, Maryland-based company has amassed a team of veteran developers behind legendary games such as Sid Meier’s Civilization, XCOM and The Sims. As a producer on The Sims myself nearly twenty years ago, I am well acquainted with the power that meaningful player-driven stories can unlock,” said Shanti Bergel, Founding Partner at Transcend, in a statement. Rodiek played a key role working on those games and Solomon said he is excited to move the genre forward, as The Sims 4 debuted back in 2015, nine years ago.
