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. "

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.
Well, SEGA is GOG already... with one title :P

Haha technically yes... but that was from Atlus before being bought by Sega, as soon as the contract with GOG expires, it will be removed from store. The same almost happened with Tesla Effect, but with this the developers took over its publishing rights.
With EA bringing more games to Steam (Crysis 3, Dragon Age 2, etc.), maybe this is a sign they're willing to bring more to GOG in the near-ish future (unless the Origin client requirement is something they will not give up)

This thread should be renamed to: Wild speculations that a game might be released here ( not even vague signs)
high rated
There are some minor name changes with 'ARMA' games & some of them marked as 'soon' now.
So, maybe 'Bohemia' is goin' back on GOG ?

Edit:
'Original War' & 'UFO Afterlight' marked as 'Soon' too.

You're right! Interesting...

Does somebody know why Bohemia left GOG in the first place?

Some speculation here:

So it was speculated that it was about Steam replacing GameSpy as MP layer. Hm. I doubt that they will patch Galaxy support into games this old, but maybe MP is dead anyway for these oldies.

Yeah, mmm, why aren't the other Ace Team games here? Zeno Clash, ZC 2, Rock of Ages, etc. Those are some damn fine games.
'Hearts of Iron II' just received some small name change.
Who knows - maybe we get some more paradox games ? Like HoI 4 ?
After the success of Persona 4 on Steam, another SEGA statement talks about "porting previously released titles to Steam and new platforms. We are also negotiating with platform holders for new games in the future, and we’re considering ways to sell under favorable conditions for each title. Among them are measures such as preparing PC versions of the titles from the beginning, with multi-platform releases in mind."

Vain hopes or will we finally see some SEGA games on GOG? By "new platforms" they mean always and only the usual Epic Games Store and Humble Bundle or do they know that there is also GOG?

Well Sega games are available on many sites (even places like Fanatical) however all these places sell Steam keys and nothing that is linked to that specific store. Still it would be nice to see Sega titles here but it may just be referring the Epic Game Store.

Would be nice if Sega came here as The Typing of The Dead Overkill doesn't work on Linux due to the DRM involved.

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.
