Well, I played with just Rise and Fall ruleset recently and missed the Gathering Storm stuff badly. So I have to say future era enhancement brought a lot of depth to the late game.

Does that mean we’ll be getting Great Dentists?

It is not about Firaxis winning or the civ fans winning. Please don't defend them. It is simply about common sense, respect and open communication. They could have posted this weeks/months ago, with a few "hang in there" posts after and save themselves the negative feelings generated in their most ardent fans or as Dennis Shirk said many times, the best fans in gaming. Their attitude has certainly left a rather unpalatable aftertaste in many of us here. In my book you don't treat your fans, nor even your clients that way. Simple as that. They don' t have to spill all their secrets, have hours-long conversations or answer every question, but just acknowledge the fanbase. Simple courtesy: "Hey, we are alive; we are working on something, hey, we have plans for the future; hey, we know you guys exist, but we can't tell you anything yet, but we're cooking something; hey, sorry for not keeping in touch, but we hear you, etc.
Now, since my discovery of EU4, I am absolutely loving their communication style more and more of weekly Dev Diaries, and dream of having Firaxis come on board with such an open, yet suspenseful enough style, but a simple acknowledgement as I mentioned before is just right especially in the times we live in. Humankind is another great example of that albeit with their own different style. It works!
But I applaud whoever it was on Twitter that nudged them into saying something and I applaud whoever at Firaxis finally posted something. Maybe the current world situation is also affecting positively people's sense of community and openness. It is exciting to see that they have "several projects bubbling away", and hopefully that includes Civ VI and/or the future of the franchise.
Likely, given what Dr. Vahlen (the woman in the picture) cooks out between XCOM 1 and 2.

Sorry, that little bow of the 'g' broke off as result of the disease. It's a serious one and shouldn't be taken lightly.

"Good news: We have several exciting projects bubbling away in our research lab!
Bad news: You're going to have to wait a little longer for any official announcements.
We're REALLY excited and we REALLY want to share them, but they need to incubate just a little longer..."
I'm not a native English speaker but doesnt it say that there's not a HUGE wait anymore?

probably. It could still be weeks away. And this will only be the announcement. Not the update itself. And whenever firaxis has a setback. It could easely derail the whole thing for 3 more weeks. Dont hold your breath.
I am a bit confused about the placement of the tweet, It is a response to a question and not the daily opener. It got me confused about the importance of this announcement. It barely gets noticed. Only 2 replies on the tweet on twitter.
I have heard that phrasing a ton of times, and it could be anything really - weeks, months and years. It’s a carte blanche reply that risks nothing, promises nothing and answers nothing. Marketing 101.

"Just a little longer" is not significantly different from "soon". I'd say it likely means something between two weeks and four months.

Yeah, I wouldn't try to parse the semantics on the phrasing. I think 'incubate' may be a cheeky nod to the coronavirus more than it speaks to disease/pandemic-based mechanics.

Well, they should definitely be announcing XCOM 3 by now.

Yes, it might be. If I recall correctly they did consider to make it a single-game scenario as well, in on the live-streams.

How I'd love that ! I don't think any game came close to having me hooked that much those past years. I'm so yearning for a sequel

I still think Xcom enemy unknown is much more fun than part 2. If only the maps would be more random. I`ve enjoyed this game a lot with the right mods.
Could just not get into xcom 2 when the long war mod stopped support for a big overhaul. But i really should pick it up again. Xcom2 was very buggy at the time.
Units not being able to get teleported out of the zone at times. Destroying my ironman saves due to bugs.
