SCPM: Creative Assembly's next title will be a one-year Epic Store exclusive, however their news post mentions the following:
"As mentioned, and like others in the industry, a key reason for exploring other digital stores is that we don’t want to be limited just to Steam. We also want to diversify our business. In fact, we want to get our games onto as many stores as possible. Long term, we want to expand where players find Total War. This deal gives us a great way to try out other platforms, such as Epic – to see what works for us and what doesn’t. It allows us to get a feel for the development required to expand to other platforms, and it’s relatively risk-free for you, too, as the game’s available for free when claimed in the first 24 hours.

This opportunity allows expansive back-end infrastructure development that will allow us to expand into multiple stores. That means we can have more resources, push ourselves further, be more creative, make more Total War. "

Fortuk: Creative Assembly and by extension SEGA games would be great. It's not as impossible as I would have considered it before, as GOG has been more successful this year in getting bigger studios to bring their games to GOG.
Creative is looking for weays to expand their revenu, hence the exclusivity deal with epic for their upcoming saga game : Troy due for coming thurdsday, who knows, maybe medieval or rome will find their way into gog

tfishell: Better not to get one's hopes up and instead be pleasantly surprised. That said, SEGA did let DotEmu release DRM-free versions of old-school games like a decade+ ago, so at least at one point they weren't against DRM-free.
Also, last official patch of Alpha Protocol removed DRM entirely, so I wonder why SEGA still don't sell this game here. It is already DRM-free for many years.

I think it's not on Steam due to licensed music.

Kingdom Rush Vengeance is being released on Steam on October 8.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1367550/Kingdom_Rush_Vengeance__Tower_Defense/

All previous Kingdom Rush games have been released here so there's probably no reason why this one shouldn't be released here as well, although no announcement from GOG yet and it's still not in the "upcoming" section.

Vote for it and make your voices heard:

Hmmm, I thought "AAA" companies were scared of DRM-free and that's why they wouldn't sell here. Maybe GOG is just too small of a marketshare for SEGA to want to bother?

I think they are scared of selling games explicitly as "DRM-free" on the label because then there is no reasonable way for them to put that genie back in the bottle: if they do so even for an older game, everyone will ask why their latest game has DRM and demand DRM-free for that too. Note that these "DRM-free" games on Scheme or Epic Fail Store or wherever are not explicitly advertised as DRM-free, and can become patched with DRM at any given time, e.g., Final Fantasy games that are no longer on the user-created list of Scheme games that can play without the client.

I assume the big companies are also more "okay" with putting these stealth DRM-free builds on stores with mandatory clients since then they still get the data they want, even though it seems these companies strive for control + data. With GOG there are many users who do not use the client and I honestly think these greedy companies want THEIR data too, and that not being able to get it is a roadblock, even if such users were a minority. I also think there is a "blue ocean" of users who avoid DRM but would otherwise buy games; the companies are not reaching them right now.

I hope this doesn't go down the path of "if only Galaxy was required" "if only more concessions were made around Galaxy", because the treatment of GOG users so far in terms of game availabilty, updates for games that are here, and even arguably mundane things like achievements, is lacking, even in spite of there being the client here already.

There are some classic games on Ziggurat website "coming soon" that are not available on GOG" les Manley series, Timequest and Machiavelli the Prince (which means Ziggurat may release later other Holistic Design games. I think we may assume they will appear here sooner or later.

SLP2000: Timequest
I've been waiting for this forever. :-)

Neolithic (RTS/city builder) will "possibly" be released on GOG, according to their official website:

Final release will be on Windows, Mac and Linux (Steam, possibly GOG). Final release is TBA, but there will be opportunities to support the game and join testing before then.

Somebody else elsewhere mentioned the Silent Hill series and Halloween. (I assume at least SH2-4 would be releasing, but maybe not all on the same day.) One or more of the SH series releasing around Halloween would seem very appropriate to me; the main hold-up (to me) might be CDPR not wanting those releases to take thunder away from Cyberpunk2077 which would release a few weeks later, but maybe that's not as big a deal as I think.

edit: And Grargar pointed out the biggest Silent Hill wishlist entry had the "1 +" removed from it, suggesting at least 2-4 will be coming.

Afaik 1 hasn't been part of this wishlist entry since at least July 2018.
