Most likely 40k imo.
That would be great, but I doubt it. The life of a Wh40k fan is suffering.

If it makes you happier one can observe that there is no adventure path or good playtested RPG system for 40k that is ready to be adapted, leaving the field open for truly galaxy-brained russian design, development hell and finally bankruptcy.

I'd love a Warhammer party-based RPG. Whether 40k or fantasy. But on the condition I can play something other than the space marines or imperial forces if it's 40k

I do hope Owlcat break off from Pathfinder, now that they've gotten a solid reputation. Make new cool stuff! Make Noonverse RPG!

More than likely going to be a Starfinder adventure path adaptation.

Owlcat's attempts at making original content have been poorly received so wanting something original from them may end up a monkey's paw. :M

What was there in good Russian sci-fi recently?
Mostly Lukyanenko. His novels from 90's were between loose science fiction and space opera (he did not have the same level of science as, for example, Arthur Clarke). Among others, Lukyanenko had a very nice dilogy which was loosely based on the game "Master of Orion". Also, there was Vladimir Vasilyev, and some predecessors of "попаданцы" genre wrote pretty nice stories as well.

What are the title of those books? I have read a couple of books by him and liked them, wouldn't mind to read some more good books by him.

Starfinder sucks, it does some weird mix of fantasy, horror and fantasy cliches but in this case, weird not on the good weird way like Planescape but weird on the sense of: "Hey, elves are cool, Cuthullu is cool, lasors are cool, magic is cool, lets mix all that shiet and worry about that making any sense later." However, it is totally possible to do a great game on a shiet setting, just select the less retarded elements and focus on them.

Actually, a game in one of the worlds of Russian sci-fi writers would be good. There is no ready-to-use game system, though, so they will have to improvise.

I don't think the Starfinder setting is any worse than Pathfinder's Golarion. It might even be better, though I didn't read as much about it. The problems with Starfinder are mechanical, as already explained, and those are harder to fix in a vidya adaptation.

After all, "Hey, elves are cool, Cuthullu is cool, lasors are cool, magic is cool, lets mix all that shiet and worry about that making any sense later." works perfectly as a description for Golarion.

WH:40K you heretics!.

Edit: So do I get a prize or something for expecting them to make a WH (and a thread) game next before this announcement came out?. Assuming it is a WH game.

Starfinder is infinitely worse than Golarion. You can at least do some fantasy genre emulation with Pathfinder and Golarion. With Starfinder - forget about it. It's a retarded mess with no rhyme or reason to it.
