Is Darkseid War the 2015 DC Comics crossover event?

In the parlance of earlier times, let's mark this one with a yellow light, what say? I am not sure of this, I have no official word on it, just something I noticed that struck me as curious.

We all know about the "Darkseid War" storyline going on over in Justice League right? So it stands to reason that if Justice League Vol. 6: Injustice League collects Justice League #30-39, then Justice League Vol. 7 ought be the collection of the "Darkseid War" storyline that starts in issue #40, right?

Except there's a listing online right now for a book called DC Comics: Darkseid War.

Now again, I don't know anything specific, and these solicitations are always preliminary and maybe it's just a naming quirk, or maybe they're renaming the seventh volume of Justice League to reflect the story's stature, or something (and the book isn't that expensive, which suggests it's not an omnibus collection of line-wide titles like the Futures End: Five Years Later Omnibus).

But I would point you to the similarly-named DC Comics: Zero Year book, which collected issues that tied into the Batman: Zero Year story, and it seems to me maybe this is some indication that there are "Darkseid War" tie-ins on the way.
