April Fools': Firaxis announces Civilization 2K23

[Nikolai II]

Perhaps amend the news announcement about Civ 2k23, which is NOT mentioning it being a prank?

This was our joke, Firaxis was indeed not involved.
Last year I thought about asking to collaborate, but it turns out that organizing this is always... problematic, because we essentially forget about it too often.
e.g. this year Leif started the thread for some brainstorming already in the middle of February, and we had quite some good ideas, but at the end we still nearly forgot about it.

As soon as Andrew said that, I realized, “oh, duh, it’s usually CFC that does these April Fools jokes.” . Sometimes I need to stop and think first before I post.

Not always though .
Last year Firaxis had this https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/three-new-editions-of-civvi-april-fools.676157/ , and I think the "Extreme Diplomacy" mode https://forums.civfanatics.com/thre...extreme-diplomacy-game-mode-announced.359842/ is still one of the most memorable April Fool's ever .
