I doubt it, I think he said it will be more grand strategy than Xcom.
Xenonauts 2 is what I am targeting.

The mod looks completely unnecessary from the mechanics or strategy point of view, and yet it seems awesome. Not only you can name the soldiers after your friends or people you know, but now they can grow a sort of love/hate relationship. Sounds great to me.
Regarding Phoenix Point, I look forward to it too, but that doesn't make the new X-COM games less relevant. After all, probably if the Firaxis X-COM weren't so successful Julian Gollop wouldn't have the chance to try something like it. Man, I saw that retrospective of X-COM a few days ago (a presentation by Gollop) and he's been trying to make a new and better X-COM since like 15 years ago, but was always fucked up by publishers.
That makes hard to believe to me as well that Phoenix Point will be anything but a spiritual successor to X-COM.
