Midsummer Studios announced their existence in May 2024 with a promise to “revitalise the life sim genre”, but now, they’re closing down. Co-founder and former XCOM developer Jake Solomon announced the news on social media this week, saying goodbye with some brief pre-alpha footage of Burbank – a build-your-own-TV-series project with a lot of generative AI in it.
“We built a studio, we made a game, and I’m really proud of both,” Solomon writes. “Before we close the doors at Midsummer Studios I’d like to share a glimpse of Burbank, the game we poured our hearts into.”
