Empire of Sin's lead game designer has wanted to make this game for 20 years

Empire of Sin, which is coming to Switch, is a strategy game set in 1920s Prohibition-era Chicago. The game is coming from Romero games, which is headed by legendary DOOM creator and co-founder of id Software, John Romero. In an interview with Kotaku, Mr. Romero wants one thing about Empire of Sin to be clear. This game comes from the mind of John's wife Brenda, and she's been wanting to make it for a long, long time now.

“I mean, in interviews, the question of ‘where does this come from?’ I tell them, this is Brenda’s design, she is lead game designer, she’s wanted to make this game for 20 years. All her experience on Wizardry 8 and working on Jagged Alliance, playing Civ for decades, playing X-Com—she wanted to put all of that into her favorite time period, which is Prohibition-era Chicago.”
