X-COM's original creator keen on a return to the series, if Firaxis was ever to ask him


X-COM's original creator jokes about awaiting a call from Firaxis' Sid Meier inviting him back to the series.

The Brainiods, where Eurogamer discussed the wider state of strategy and tactics games (on which he has some opinions), the conversation naturally ended up back at his original series. As for a hypothetical return - which I was particularly curious about after he made such a close spiritial successor, in 2019's Phoenix Point- in whatever form that might take? As for his current project, it's a smartly-made twist on the genre - a genre Gollop hopes it'll add at least a small dose of innovation to - but whether that smart twist can help a slightly more family-focused game take off in such an intensely competitive field these days is another question.
