I would really love a Late Antique game, but I think the "religion is not important" teaser rules it out.

Didn't it technically say "Not the most important aspect"? Which doesn't rule out half as much really. You could argue that wouldn't even rule out Crusader Kings.
As much as I want Victoria 3 Johan posted a pic of a red shirt. There was no logo but red quite often mean rome. Also, is there a list of all the spoilers?
Yeah but everyone that I've seen gather them prejudices it with their own ideas and assumes knowledge of them. But they are individually in these devoted forums listed and titled appropriately.
I think Rome2 though it might be a new name since EU:rome is not the best title for a franchise IMO
I'm not convinced it's Rome II but I'm not convinced of anything yet. The hints do suggest gameplay aspects I will like though.
Honestly this is how I'm going to react when I see the announcement. Pretty much no matter what it is.
I would find myself surprised at this point if I don't do the same.Honestly this is how I'm going to react when I see the announcement. Pretty much no matter what it is.
I'll add in how exactly I'm interpreting the teasers, just so I can look back and see if I was close on any of them-
#1: A feint towards Victoria's economy mechanics, but really a reference to the Populares faction in the Late Republic.
#2: Since Johan worked on both Vicky and EU, this was another feint towards Vicky that really suggests a broadly EU-style game.
#3: Yet another one intended to be readable as Vicky, but in this case probably referring to a Latinization or citizenship mechanic.
#4: "SPQR" is about as easy to spell as a name could possibly be.
#5: EU:R had a trade system where different goods gave distinct bonuses, but there was no measure of a given province's output, just how many trade routes it could have. I take this as a nod that they'll build on this mechanic further.
#6: The relatively low importance of religion means the game will likely end before Constantine or even the religious persecutions of Diocletian.
#7: No Norway means a map restricted to lower latitudes, but can also be read as a hint at a fantasy game (I think they just got tired of teasing Vicky diehards and want a new misdirection, but we'll see).
#8: The "tomorrow" is throwing me off because I'm twelve hours off of Stockholm time and I'm not sure what day was actually referenced. Either way, "bard" strongly hints at fantasy but could also reference Celtic culture.

vic wont be renamed . just look at johan's twitter .
i think you should just drop this idea for now .
PDS will apparently be announcing the new game at around noon on Saturday, so for you, that'd be around midnight on Saturday or Sunday.
I would not mind a fantasy game tbh, but I have a feeling they'll announce either Rome or something completely different
When is the reveal? I thought it was 3 hours ago..
Edit: my bad, timezone screwups. It's in 2.5 hours!

Final (probably wrong) Guess:
It's Napoleonic Era between EU4 and vic2
"Is it popular demand?"
Yes. The people who dont want it, don't yet know they want it and it's nut suited for either game
"Johan Andersson is the gamedirector and designer of this game."
Inspired by EU4
"There will be minorities."
Under Napoleon, there were minorities
"Spelling the name of the game is rather easy."
Era of Napoleon is easy to spell compared ot others
"The amount of each goods produced is important."
Of course, if it incorporates an economic system of vic2
Religion is present, but not the most important aspect.
Indeed.
"There is no Norway on the map...."
Norway at the time could be called part of the "Oldenburg Monarchy"
"Tomorrow its time for the bard!"
Bard experienced it's literary peak between 1790-1810 approximately

My final prediction before the show starts:
45% - "Rome II", or other antiquity game starting at latest during the first Punic War.
45% - Fantasy GSG, this includes a possible WoD game.
6% - East Asia GSG -- The bard hint seems to exclude it, but it could just mean the annoucement itself.
4% - Dark Ages/Migration Period/ Late Antiquity game
0% -- Cold War or Modern Era
0% -- CK3
0% -- Vicky 3
0% -- March of Eagles 2 or other Napoleonic era game
0% -- WWI GSG
0% -- Runemaster or other RPG
