Pretty much so. It was a antiquity version of Europa Universalis and not a game in its own right like the CK or Victoria games.

Except for the fact one of the new in develop games is a New IP and they are currently only making two new ones(If I heard correctly)
No it wasn't, it was a mixture of CK's character driven game and some elements of EU, it was a pretty unique game. It's closer to CK than EU in most terms I'd say, but it's not CK either.
Well, compared to Europa Universalis, Crusader Kings, or even Hearts of Iron, both Victoria and Rome are rather short names, and way easier to spell relatively. Rome being the shortest of all, but that's not taking into account its truer, longer name. Which would actually make it the longest one by the way.
Besides, both series could very well be rebranded for the occasion.
All in all, this new hint really isn't so decisive, once again. As expected.
At least, we're now absolutely sure that it's not gonna be CK3, although we already knew that much.

Btw do we know which of Titus, Tiberius, Hadrian, and Caligula this is?
(Can't remember if any of those were revealed to be other games or if they all still are secret.)

It would have highly surprised me if they would actually make and EU:Rome 2 so no surprise there. This points pretty firmly towards either a very short name or a very simple one. Both Rome and SPQR are really simple to spell, I really don't see Victoria:III being simple enough to really make a teaser out of it.
Happy to see a teaser again with a strong chance of an antiquity game, mildly disapointed though if it's name is focussing on Rome instead of a speaking of a broader ambition. I will be severely disapointed if we get a map as limited in an antiquity game as in EU:Rome

So Barbie Horse Adventures Stable Manager has to still be in with a shot - Adventures is the only word there that would cause anyone any trouble 
.
More seriously though, I think it's a new name for games set in the Rome of Vicky time periods (I love Vicky, but I don't think it's the most marketable name by any stretch, and EU:Rome wasn't their best naming either). So Crusader Kings: Rome then.

You are right with what you say, but there a only 2 games which are heavily awaited in the community.
Victoria 3 and „a Rome game“...
Besides it was clearly said by PDX that Victoria is out, and even without this, Victoria is unlikely:
It is more relied to the HOI mechanics than any other games and these mechanics are not polished yet...(naval part, politics, espionage, etc.)
While a Roman / Hellenic game would use much more mechanics from EU and CK...and these brands are 99% polished and received a dozen of DLC. So from a developing side of view this is the only rational decision...
btw
It wasn‘t „POP demand“ but „popular demand“
Populares...which hippocrats did more in the name of the people than roman ones?
As far as I can tell, Tiberius and Caligula are both unannounced (both mentioned by codename in this HOI4 DD: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...development-diary-september-28th-2016.971372/). I assume Hadrian and Titus were Stellaris and HoI4?
edit: They weren't... Are those codenames for internal PDS titles only, or for PI in general?

Yes, of course it wasn't a direct copy. But it was based on Europa Universalis as opposed to stand on its own legs like Victoria or CK. Its kind of in the name "Europa Universalis: Rome" that this is an antiquity version of Europa Universalis.
This just made me think it's going to be a new title, whether its a brand new IP or just a new title. And most likely going to be a name that sort of spells itself. SPQR therefore would seem likely. But I reckon the hints are currently designed to have us go V2-R2-V2-R2. So tomorrow's hint will make us think V2 again.
I'll probably be fine if it's Rome 2 and they improve on the political and senate system.
But I soo want it to be Vicky III.

Stellaris, HOI4, and Runemaster all were in development at the same time. Their codenames were Nero, Armstrong, and Augustus. IIRC then Stellaris was Augustus, HOI4 Armstrong, and Runemaster Nero, but I'm not 100% on which. I am 100% though that the three codenames were Armstrong, Augustus, and Nero.
We've never been told that. Also in case you're looking back then Dallas was either Tiberius or Titus (can't remember which) and only got a different name because they were applying for funds, and got them, from the EU fun for the promotion of European history and cultural heritage.
Meaning that that project has got to be quite Eurocentric for the EU to approve it. It being ROME II would be a good bet, though that doesn't mean that it's that one which is ready for announcement atm.
