Firaxis has posted a coded message on their site. Could it be a contest with fabulous prizes? Give it a try and see if you could decode the message! :)

Thanks to Pete Murray of Firaxis for the news tip.
 
Yeah:

Spoiler How to decode :
Just replace every letter with the letter 6 letters forwards. A=G, B=H, C=I, etc.
 
Well, I'll autograph your copy of Civilization, too, if you come to Maryland.

I don't work for Firaxis, though. Hmm, I wonder if they're hiring?
 
X-BOX was the "Rosetta stone" for me-that's all I am saying ;).

Aussie.
 
Got it! My Key was "CN'M":)
 
RVIR 360 was sort of a dead giveaway...(And JM3 only marginally better)
 
that was easy to break i even made my own ceaser cypher code breaker to do it with
if anyone wants it it is hear it dose not have any answers on it only the code breaker

YES! The message says Civilization 5 is coming for PC, PS3 and X-box next year! :D

Hmmm, would prefer it to be a pure PC-title..........

I didn't get that message. I think it was talking about Revolutions.

These were both my key. "RVIR" was obviously "XBOX", and "CN'M" was obviously "It's" since nothing else fit. Then I noticed the pattern and the rest was easy.

You fail at decoding, cause it never mentions Civ 5. :p
