Hints so far:
#1: This will be our first new major IP released since the original Crusader Kings over 10 years ago.
#2: Seven and Three are important numbers.
#3: There will be no stabbing of pigs.
#4: Terrain truly matters in this game.
#5: Game Director is Henrik Fåhraeus, 15 year industry veteran, lead designer behind the Crusader Kings and Hearts of Iron series.
#6: Elections and Technological Development are important parts of the game.

Rome 2: This time lets do it right?

[Valmy]

Obviously it is Roman. The seven hills and the Triumvirate. But if it is a new IP it cannot be Rome 2.

Wasn't it called Europa Universalis: Rome or something? Easy to just call that a spin off and call the new one something rome related.

Three rings for the elven kings under the sky
Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone
No more than this for copyright reasons

Why would technology and elections be important for that world?

Oh, "elections".

Either something about antiquity (ancient Rome), or maybe something Sci-Fi (they reworked the random map generator for EU4, after all ...)?

But they announced there won't be stabbing of pigs.

Yes. As in not like that other roman game

[Drakken]

They also said Rome 2 wasn't in the cards either.

I'd fawn over a Diadochi grand strategy game. Playing the Ptolemies interbreeding themselves into mental retardation and lethal family politics.

Huh...well...I guess there were three great kingdoms that came out of that...but what about seven? Were there originally seven contenders? Can I be: Antigonus the One-Eyed?

[Drakken]

There were seven Cleopatras.

Chinese strategy game then? The Three Kingdoms period and the The Seven Warring States.
