Did Marvel just reveal the next X-Men writer in its FCBD announcement?

What’s interesting is that Gail Simone is listed as the co-writer of FCBD: Blood Hunt/X-Men #1, leading to the apparent conclusion that Simone’s contribution will be on the X-Men side, in a story that Marvel has only revealed will be about Jubilee, and which will set up the next era of the X-Men.
Artists Sara Pichelli and David Marquez are listed as the artists for the issue, though who will draw which part hasn’t been specified. Kael Ngu will provide the cover.
It’s entirely possible that Simone, who hasn’t written an ongoing X-Men team book before, is contributing to the FCBD Blood Hunt/X-Men one-shot in another way. It’s also possible she’s only writing the Jubilee story, and not taking on the X-Men relaunch to come. But it sure seems like a safe bet that the story that sets up the team’s post-Krakoa era may be written by the flagship writer of the newly relaunched X-Men title.
Meanwhile, on the Ultimate Universe side, writer Deniz Camp and artist Juan Frigeri will introduce a “powerful new hero” in a story that shows the “next evolutionary step” in the Ultimate Universe.
