They're doing Civ 7 already

Don't try to tell me Beyond Earth was a sequel, Stellaris is more of a sequel to SMAC than BE was.

"Already" is doing a lot of heavy lifting, by the time the game comes out it will have been 9 years since Civ 6. That's 3 years longer than the gap between 5 and 6 which is the next longest gap in the series. At this point they're vastly limited in the things they can do without a complete overhaul on base mechanics we've been playing with for nearly a decade.
Would you rather they completely overhaul the current game and the original mechanics be lost to time? Of course not, the obvious next step is to make a new game.
wtf
I'll give you that it's been longer than I realized since the base game came out, however, Beyond Earth came out 10 years ago (2014) and Alpha Centauri was 25 years ago.
