Well, it's interesting to speculate on what their new game will be like, based on the few hints from Bill Roper's gamespot interview

GameSpot: Assuming that you can't speak to the full nature of the current game-in-development, can you give us some idea of scope, style, and flavor of title?

Bill Roper: Without giving away too much, I can say that we are making a game that fans of our previous games will really enjoy, but it won’t be what anyone expects. In terms of scope, we intend to create a game with a solid single player component, [and] great online multi-player support that receives more support and specific attention than anything we’ve done before. The flavor is a dark one (of course) that we think will really strike a chord with gamers around the world. The style--well, that gives a little too much away, I think…

GS: Bill, Bill…

BR: Well, I can leak a couple of things the game isn’t, though, just to get you thinking. It isn’t a classic fantasy story, it isn’t set in some place you’ve never heard of, and it isn’t a sports title. I know that this pretty much shoots down Bilbo’s Backyard Baseball, but I don’t want to get people’s hopes up too high for something we aren’t working on.

The one thing I'd bet my bottom dollar on is that it won't be a MMORPG. ;)
