Soren Johnson Leaves Civilization

The lead developer on Sid Meier's Civilization III & IV, Soren Johnson, has reportedly parted ways with Firaxis. He will be returning to Electronic Arts where he has worked before on the Knockout Kings series, but this time he will join the team at Spore. After checking Wikipedia for more information on the guy, I found this sneaky thing stuck near the bottom:

In a recent interview Soren has announced that he is working on a secret project that will combine a game from the 1980's and another from a well established genre.

Of course no citation could be found. But, it does mention he has announced that he will be be getting married sometime in the fall. Awweeee. Kim Phu
