I just read on a good source that in gamescom BioWare is going to announce and shows its new Franchise called "Shadow Realms". I just thught that it is good to start a topic about it. here is a link where you can get the teaser trailer.

So what do you guys think? how is this new game gonna be? what genre? what do you expect?

Well, that thread's technically just about the trailer, this one's about the general new franchise.
So, what we know:
It is not being developed by any Canadian Bioware studios, so it is speculated to be in development at Bioware Austin, the studio behind SWTOR.
ARG websites registered by EA around the same time as the trailer teaser site are strongly linked to the new title and suspected to be part of Failbetter Games' previously announced collaboration with Bioware earlier this year.
You can find much of the ARG stuff here: http://dulfy.net/201...-seeking-henna/
Basically, a fellow named Blake with a fondness for puzzles and reddit is looking for his online friend Henna, who mysteriously vanished from her home and her wheelchair while looking into a mysterious university with an odd course load that seems to include alchemy, the biology of mythical creatures, time travel, and memory viewing amongst other things.
However, the events calendar is interesting. The first day of classes happens to start on August 13th, the first day of Gamescom. Also, today, the day those who got the email were "chosen", is the last day to sign up for the "Paris Retreat", which starts on the 19th, so that could be something.
As for Blake, he promises to be in San Diego this weekend, handing out fliers 
So, I'm hoping for an Urban Fantasy RPG myself (I've been looking for one since VtMB). I'm a bit concerned since, if it really is being developed by Bioware Austin, then it might end up being another MMO (On the other hand, I'm not sure they could handle running two MMOs at the same time, so I'm hopeful).

That would prety much awesome and make my day. You see, there has been loads of RPG games that take place in the future or in the long past. But I am yet to find and see and play a decent RPG game set in the present timeline in an urban area. Was not sure even if it exists. That would be awesome.

I recommend Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, its old and a buggy, but its aged well and beneath the bugs is distilled awesome. You play a newborn vampire set in the Classic World of Darkness PnP world, lots of intrigue, perverse humor, and all dark trappings you'd expect of the vampire filled seedy underbelly of Los Angeles.
Austin team? Only way I'd be interested is if someone who did the SW storyline or the IA story was on it. Otherwise don't care.

Is it for PC?

We're not even sure its Austin yet, but hopefully they're pulling together their best (The story so far seems to lean towards conspiracy and secrecy, so I'm hopeful about seeing the IA story's quality if it is)
Looks pretty cool. I'll be watching this one closely.

I got the same expression. Man I like fear, suspense and excitement. And when all these three get together, bang, it is like I`m having a party.
