The XCOM series has not been forgotten, according to XCOM and XCOM 2 director Jake Solomon. He told VGC that the series is "definitely not dead," although there is no word yet on when it may return.
Solomon, who is the director for XCOM developer Firaxis' new game Midnight Suns, said, "As long as I live, as long as Firaxis lives, XCOM is… I won't even say sleeping. I will say XCOM is definitely not dead."
