Publisher 2K Games has seemingly spoiled its own impending Civilization 7 reveal.

Earlier today, the 2K Games official website featured a banner and logo for Sid Meier's Civilization 7 on the front page, alongside text that read "Coming Soon." Nonfunctional links to "Wishlist Now" and "Watch Trailer" were also on the website - but all evidence of a Civilization 7 has since been scrubbed from the page. 

Firaxis, the studio behind XCOM and Marvel's Midnight Suns, had confirmed it was hammering away on another game in its iconic strategy series after a leadership shakeup last year. Details at the time were murky as a press release simply stated the sequel would take the series to "exciting new heights." It seems we'll learn what those heights look like in mere hours. 

Civilization 6 released exclusively on PC before setting sail toward every other platform under the sun, including PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch. There's currently no clue as to whether Civilization 7 might follow the same pattern but we'll find out soon enough.
