New Gamespot article. It mentions that the Campus unlocks at Astronomy.

Astrology, but other articles disagree. The Polygon article linked above says the Campus is unlocked by Writing, and other articles have said that Astrology unlocks the Holy Site district.

german article. Interestingly they state that pyramids can be build on desert AND Flood Plains

And that you have a GP-Screen where you can see the next GPs from every category "scientists/generals/prophets etc." and you can see how many GPP are left for every player in order to get the next GP (!). Cost of GPP are being calculated for every GP-category separately AND are rising separately when a GP gets taken. In addition they state you can buy GP with Gold or faith, too!

They furthermore confirm that you are not able to land on every coastal tile!

A German article: http://www.computerbild.de/artikel/cbs-News-PC-Civilization-6-15578105.html

My German is quite rusty, so someone else should confirm, but as far as I can see, one new info is France is confirmed and confirmed to be different to play than in Civ5.
