Unfortunately, they say they won't be announcing any new games at PDXCon, which means if the game is announced this year, it'll be at some other time or in some other event.

But they are definitely still working on the game.
Amanda Forrest did a podcast interview with Goddess in Gaming - a podcast about women in the games industry. She avoided talking about the game as much as possible, mostly talking about getting into writing RPG Lit books and her history in the industry, but she did say
Interviewer: And what are you doing currently at Paradox?
AF: I am... we are actually a very small team. So, we recently staffed up from three engineers to four. And we do have some outsourcing. So really we have a team of strong generalists, and we work all over the code base.
AF: I've been working - I spend a lot of time working on the world-building tool, which we're going to use in-house, but will also be user-facing, I believe.
...
AF: You know I love the get in and work on AI and gameplay, and bring life to the world. And I think that was the same with the books too, is I like to find ways to make characters express what looks like a human quality.
So I think that bodes really well. A world-building tool sounds awesome.
The
latest job posting confirms this game is being made in Unity. And was only put up, like, a week ago, so the game is clearly still getting money and being worked on.
So it sounds exciting. I am trying to temper my high hopes. But who knows how long we will have to wait to learn more.
