I hope it will be "Truman Show" game 
Strategy game where Youre building huge town with actors for Truman to live, using cash from commercials at the tv show youre making
Of course it wont be this, because its Paradox To know what type of game would that be just check who Harry Truman was -> probably it would be strategy game starting durning WWII (i bet like 1944, because Truman was the guy that ordered to nuke Hiroshima), and finishing at the death of Truman (1972) or at the end of cold war (1989).

But they are already making East vs West, which is a cold war game.

They said that the names have nothing to do with the actual game.
I can be slightly different, but i doubt they would call game f.e. "Ceasar the Great", and make game about Vietnam War right? Its possible it wont point directly to the game, but it needs to have at least some connection to it.
It's not the name of the game but our internal project name - so it can be about anything. Publishing for instance have often used Kevin Costner movies as their project names.
Yep. And the only past (prior to the recent trio of announcement) project names we know of IIRC are generally of little to no relation to the actual games. Hearts III was mayhem (vague at best), Sengoku was Glory (not really any relation) and Crusader Kings II was Serpent, IIRC.
I would like to see something different than usuall but in EU convention -> CAVE WARS!!
Imagine a game like EU, where people were only small tribes and were just starting to create nations -> From caves to villages, from villages to town, conquering other tribes and making nations, inventing first types of weapons Bad that noone make games with such formula, because WWII and Rome themes are beeing exploited too much, and a bit boring because of that.

Despite the different mechanics, CK II has set the bar quite high for a medieval-style game. So I wonder what another EU title could bring on the table. A longer timeframe and higher trade focus won't cut it. If EU 4 can't cope with CK II in terms of immersion, it will be considered as a letdown by many PD fans.
I love it! Just so long as East vs West is economic focus rather than military.
Add in a pre-Rome game and a modern game, and you get the best representation of thousands of years of human civilization.
A WWI could be good, but it can be already be cover by a Hearts of iron scenery. A more diverse game would be great.
a ww1 game would be awesome, but paradox does not seem to love this period very much... also victoria covers it so that is unlikely.
most likely rome 2 or EU 4... i doubt it will be a new title

There are four possibilities really.
1)It's a new game, covering one of the few bits of histories left truly uncovered. Getting harder and harder, with March of Eagles and East v West joining the lineup.
2)It's a very old game getting remade, ie Svea Rike or so. Given these games' track record, excedingly unlikely.
3)It's a Clausewitz engine remake of a Clausewitz engine game. This is an unlikely scenario in itself: Paradox has only done same-engine remakes of games twice, with its two flagships, and that was back on Europa.
However, if that's the case, then it's clearly Rome. Vicktwo, Sengoku and CK II are just too recent, HOI III got a recent expansion. That leaves Rome and Europa, and Paradox won't be making a new Clausewitz-engine EU.
On the flip side, there is possibility #4: Paradox has decided to move on to the next engine generation. The new game will herald their third-generation engine.
If that's the case, then we are looking at Europa Universalis IV

Dude, I bought it and enjoyed it, but the HOI2 engine is old, old, old, and you have to admit that it is not a dedicated WW1 game any more than EUIII was a dedicated Napoleonic War game. Paradox should take note though, that a lot of the people who bought DH did so because they wanted to play the WW1 campaign - there is demand.
It's better than nothing and the game is constantly being improved. Keep in mind that even if the PI decides to make a WWI game, it will take years to develop it, so unless they are working on it already, we will have to wait for a long time.
