Might & Magic 10, been waiting since 3DO went down.
After what 3DO did with M&M IX, it might be wise to wait for Jon von Caneghem to get tired of his MMO venture. That could mean another few years.

Darklands is a candidate for longest sequel wait, certainly, though it's understandable. If you were a big name developer, you wouldn't want to put a lot of resources into a turn-based strategy title, or one that would require a lot of individuality in each of dozens of cities to give them character. An indie could do it without the fancy trimmings, and do it well, but the current license holder is being very tight-fisted about control of old Microprose properties. And that's not something an indie would willingly buck.
