apehater: what about half life 3?
Ah, the eternal gog joke.

So... two DRM clients and a jew walk into a bar...
Dark Souls 3 !!! That would be awesome. ^_^
Cyberpunk 2077.

Unlike most games listed here on this thread, atleast this game is confirmed to be on gog in the future.

Gersen: I could be wrong but I strongly suspect that the "2016 AAA" title will most probably be : Original Sin 2 , Kingdom Come: Deliverance, or something else AAA-ish / semi-indy rather than a big title from one of the big companies.
That'd be disappointing (to me), but not totally unexpected given that Denuvo does seem to be doing its job well, thus far. EDIT: However, with the rise of Denuvo, it's all the more important that GOG stays DRM-free as a business model, to differentiate themselves.

There's an upcoming 'big' game with what sounds like a 10+ player component coming to GOG that was teased over a week ago:

Don't know if that's related or not, since it sounded like it's going to be a Galaxy game.

Gersen: Techland: maybe, they haven't yet jumped on the Denuvo bandwagon and being also a polish dev maybe CDP could manage to convince them, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it.
Techland has recently appeared on GOG's company list, so something is coming from them. :-)

Multiplayer heavy sounds like a shooter to me, or some kind of MOBA...

I'm personaly not interested in the least by that kind of games, but that sure would be a big surprise to see a hyped release like battleborn or paragon drm free on GOG...
None of the above. No, I don't count Kickstarter games either no matter how pretty they may look.
To me, AAA means it's published by a big mainstream publisher, often those who have stopped publishing their old games here on GOG, and spend a LOT on marketing. :P

I have an extremely low interest in multiplayer personally, but I'll be excited if it's something relatively high up on the wishlist, ideally 1k+ votes.

And this is why I really wish there was a clear definition of what "AAA" meant. I mean, what's"semi" about D: OS2? It's fully indie, the only money going into it is backers + Larian.

KC: D is semi, in the sense that they have a "silent pardner", but the total is still pretty small compared to what we know about the AAA releases everyone agrees about - and when I say "pretty small", I mean "wouldn't be enough to pay for a month of marketing". According to Wikipedia, GTA V cost $137 millions to develop, but marketing was $128 millions. Witcher 3? 46 and 35, respectively.

KC: D earned two million $ via crowdfunding, and presumably got about 4.7 million $ from the private investor. There was also an earlier investment, which enabled them to complete a prototype - let's be generous and call it another million $. That brings us to a total of 7.7 million $. Warhorse isn't Larian or inXile, they can't put more of their money into it, since they don't have any - had the KS failed, it would likely have been the end for KC: D. So, slightly over one fifth of the W3 marketing budget.
http://gameindustry.about.com/od/glossary/g/Aaa-Game.htm

"A AAA game, or pronounced "triple-A game", is generally a title developed by a large studio, funded by a massive budget.

These games will have a marketing budget in the multiple-millions of dollars, and are planned to earn out in excess of one million titles sold. Investors/publishers expect a multiple-of-cost return on their investment. In order to recoup general development costs, publishers will generally produce the title for the major platforms (currently Xbox 360, PS3, and PC) to maximize profits, unless it is a console exclusive, in which case the console maker will pay for exclusivity to offset the loss of potential profit to the developer."

I have a possible lead on the next publisher coming to GOG (this Monday!?), but I'm conflicted about sharing.

As to what this AAA release could be I reckon it will be from either Bethesda or a publisher not here yet like Take Two or Sega.

I highly doubt it will be something from a publisher that isn't here. Also EA, Ubisoft are unlikely to release anything AAA here. Especially EA with the "succes" of Denuvo. Bethesda hasn't even released Oblivion here so no chance imho for Doom to get here in the near future except the original which is here of course. Square Enix also loves Denuvo so nothing from them either. Then there is Deep Silver, they haven't released SR4 here yet so nothing newer to be expected here. Paradox also releases mostly older titles. Cyberpunk is not out for a year at least. Maybe GOG considers Original Sin 2 AAA so that would be a likely candidate. Have i missed anything.
Take-Two Interactive!? I'm not sure certain information should be on this Twitch account...
