Europa Universalis IV: Greatest game of all time
What is 100% certain to be the greatest game ever made is currently under development and slated for release in late 2013.
Paradox has some developer diaries about the making of the game here with some good reads about what's going to be changed.
GET EXCITED!

Rise from the dead, my fellow EU fans.
Project Caesar practically confirmed to be EU5
Non exhaustive list of what I know so far:
Start in 1337 (right before Black Death and Ottomans became the Ottomans)
There will be a POP mechanic so no more infinite troops with no impact on economy
sick
on another note, euiv was free on epic about 2 years ago so i gave it a go
it was fun, definitely an improvement over crusader kings II & III but still lacked some key things
and for unknown reasons, i fired it up again, and it's amazing
over a decade after the game got released, it finally feels like they've perfected it
countries work in alliances that make a lot more historic sense ie with two neighboring superpowers, they will ally/guarantee the smaller nations out of their reach to prevent their rival from gobbling them up and growing - this has been far and away the biggest change - so those little countries aren't all gobbled up within the first 50 years or so and the map is just a series of mega empires as it usually goes
been playing as byzantium and there's all these new byzantium specific modifiers which really add a lot of flavor to the experience
kind of wild that after being out for over a decade, they are still putting out updates that give the game massive changes
