It does seem like it's gonna be Shogun, however, Shogun apparently did feature guns, at least that's what I read.sgtshock said:

From what I know that information is not trustworthy. It just suddenly appeared out of nowhere on some Turkish gaming site(which removed it shortly after) and has since spread all over the web.Kukakkau said:
Well they are pretty restricted on eras - since they need to have enough actions and armies that did function as units (World War troops tended to be have little formation and spread over areas)
They could do early China (dynastys and three kingdoms era) - might be difficult to work out though.
I'd love to see Rome remade with more factions and bit of a bigger game map. Although as long as it isn't firearms I'll be happy - they just killed it for me.
EDIT: Just saw the hourglass thing and read an article saying Shogun 2 demo was pencilled in for E3

Still hoping for China and the Era of Warring States (circa 470-200 BC)
"In Spring it roams not
Maybe eastern sun rises
Nor will it show guns"
Not Show Guns = No Shoguns = Not Japan?, yet the maybe eastern Sun Rises.
By Haruhi, will I get my wish of Warring States era China?

Haven't read through the whole thread so forgive me if someone has already analysed this but:
"In Spring it roams not - Spring Release Date? 'Roams not' = Not roam?
Maybe eastern sun rises - East = Asia, 'Sun Rises' = Rising Sun? Japan?
Nor will it show guns" - This part confuses things, obviously 'Show Guns' = Shogun(s)
But are they trying to say it's not Shogun? (Nor) And as someone stated, Shogun did in fact have guns, just not to the extent of Empire. Maybe China or Mongolia pre-Shogunate Era Japan?
Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a return to Japan, Shogun was my first Total War and still probably the best imo.

This is no super-scientific estimate but you'll get the point:
The countdown is dropping about 30 years per day so unless it starts going down more rapidly then it will drop about another 450 years by E3. And 450 years before 1682 (the current countdown as I'm writing this) is right in the beginnings of the shogunates in Japan.
I'm kind of surprised they will return to Shogun after investing so much money and work into developing a sea combat engine, but I'm interested to see what they do. If it is Shogun then I hope they've drastically improved the combat animations or else my samurai will all have to kill themselves because they fight so pathetically.
I'm still hoping for Three Kingdoms China since I think it would be a perfect fit for Total War's gameplay, and like some of you pointed out they did say "Nor will it show guns" which either way you take it should point away from Shogun.
