Oh, how I wished that the "2 civilizations/2 leaders" actually meant 2 new civs with their own leaders and also 2 alternate leaders for existing civs. Only 3 alternate leaders until now is far too little use for this mechanic.

I think Red Death is seen as a "game mode". And it is not like you can import these mechanics into a standard game.
And this, from the interview:
"Some of the disasters you’ll be able to see coming, but others will be unavoidable! The most damaging and unpredictable disasters, though, are only in a game with Apocalypse mode, and they are not common until climate change reaches its final level. A very fun part of this mode is the new Soothsayer unit, available in the early game, which can actually trigger disasters.So that’s one way you can see a disaster coming. If an enemy sends a Soothsayer your way, watch out!"

From the interview with Anton
'At this time we don’t have plans to release the DLL source code'
Heart = Broken. I think that basically confirms it's never coming for civ vi.
Though it will be interesting seeing what modders can do with the new systems.
Also confirmation that you can turn on/off mutliple 'game modes' at will and mix and match your experience. So playing a game with all of them on would, from the sounds of it, add up too a 'third expansion' experience. Though one filled with more fantastical and a-historical elements.
It's a mixed emotion day. I'm very excited for the new mechanics. But with no DLL I dont think civ vi will ever reach the heights it could.

The interviewer mentions Soothsayers who can call down disasters. My bet is that's them.
From the wording in the interview it definitely seems like Apocalypse is a toggle that works with an otherwise normal game, which is great! But the question is if we can COMBINE modes, as there are several more lined up for the season pass. We don't know yet if Apocalypse is something we have to choose from a drop-down list next to other modes, or a checkbox we can click on alongside other modes.

My biggest fear so far. What if we ended up with something like pleague, we have greaat mechanic in game, but nobody use it because its not part of "main game".
Bermuda is in the middle of the Atlantic. You can call it America, but it's not really near anything. (It's also not very wondrous. More of an urban legend than anything else. I'm kinda disappointed by it TBH.) All that being said, America is the sparsest continent in terms of civs at the moment so it makes sense that far--but it's also probably the richest landmass in natural wonders so...

Someone else has already pointed out but it could be they're theming each DLC around a particular region. It makes sense that they would want to add any new American wonders/natural wonders in with the American Civs.
Pretty sure we're not going to get a bunch of American-based Civs and content the rest of the way through

Only bummer about today so far. Hoping there's still a chance they'll release it after the pass is done.

The Bermuda Triangle is literally just water. I can think of more interesting looking wonder models.

Yeah, I hope these game modes can be integrated with the main game rather than just be a separate thing (like the scenarios)

Not confirmed but Potato McWhiskey's video (which I'm watching now) seems to suggest that it's something you can toggle at the start of a game. So I'm *hoping* this suggests it's something you can just apply to any map of your choice.
My theory on the Bermuda Triangle (aside from the Firaxis logo right in the middle...) is it's likely to be a negative impact on your game rather than a positive one. Maybe there's a chance per turn of losing a unit within, say, a 2 tile radius or you can't cross it until you've researched a late-game tech.
I have a sneaking suspicion it will only show up in Apocalypse mode.
