It´s way too early to make a thread for this game yet, as it´s been announced recently, so I´ll post it here in case some of you guys are interested in following its development.

Description
In this RPG, you are a hero in a time of chaotic upheaval. Explore the six worlds of Norse mythology, amass your forces and vanquish your enemies on the battlefield in the name of your chosen God. Will you choose to enforce change for those that crave it or will you seek to maintain the status quo - for better or worse?
You, alone can determine the fate of the world.
You, alone are the master of your own saga.
Features
Vast vistas to explore: Wander the six worlds of Norse myth, from the lofty forests of Midgard to the fires of Muspelheim. Each time you start a new campaign, the world is procedurally generated to ensure each adventure is a venture into the exciting and unknown.
Rich tactical combat: Recruit and command an expansive range of units with unique abilities. Learn to use your troops – and the terrain of the battlefield – to crush your enemies.
Emergent storytelling: Who you are and the choices you make have a direct impact on the journeys you embark on. The game’s procedural quest system will take note of your deeds and challenge you accordingly. No two playthroughs will ever be the same.
I know what you´re thinking: "More Norse mythology?? I´ll pass". But there are some things about this game which make it interesting IMO.
The game is being developed by Paradox Interactive. In case you don´t know them, they are specialized in historical grand strategy games (look for Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis, for example), and they are known for the historical accuracy with which they develop their games.
Following their usual ideology, they plan to make this game as faithful to Norse mythology as they can.
Also, with their experience in strategy games, I´m confident they have some great ideas regarding tactical combat for the game.
And, also good to know, they always make their games highly moddable, and this one will be no exception.
I, for one, will be following this very closely. When enough details are revealed, I´ll probably make a thread about the game.
