I can't really determine what exactly it's going to be but my gut is telling me it's one of the following five options :

1.An europa universalis spin-off which is not Rome, but I say this one is the least likely
2.An europa universalis spin-off that is Rome
3.A new total war esque franchise focussing on either A.Italian Wars B.Thirty Years war C.War of the roses D.Hundred year wars
4.A new game in a new era possibly the Greeks, early roman empire
5.A new game in the area of 1648-1833 to eventually take over the second part of Europa universalis.

Now I'd say 3 or 4 is the most likely, 3 is something I could actually see them doing.

Vicky 3 can be pretty much ruled out, given their new policy of not announcing games before they at least hit beta combined with the fact that Paradox said only a few months ago they weren't working on Victora 3 yet.

I also think it's not vicky 3 because it's too early and it would compete too much with their other main franchises.

I think we will get something entirely new a game we have not seen before.
 
I fear it is some "small" game like March of the Eagles.

A game is only small if there are no sales so no reason to continue it. Although I do agree that it's most likely not going to be something huge. Hence I think we might see a game focussed on one war or just a few nations. Perhaps not a world map but just a map of England and France in extremely great detail.

I would surely love a game that just took a nation or a part of a continent and then just makes it greatly detailed.

it seems there is a fan gathering early august. I remember for last announcements that they posted hints soon.. If this forum is up now, hints can't take longer then a few days.

It is for Augustus, I just used the construction name as a placeholder, because of the way I needed to do things behind the scenes.
 
Gamescom is happening in two and a half weeks (6th-9th of August), so I'd bet we'll get more info there.

In the meantime, check out Distant Worlds: Universe, which is a space-based grand strategy game, so you won't be disappointed if Augustus turns out to be something different. ;)
