This is great news! A little bit unbelievable, and completely surreal, but great!
So what are we expecting to see?
For me, it would be the underwater rivers, the mystical music as I make my descent, the numerous "systems" of the game, such as the runes and the mantras, which really make the world feel like a working universe with rules and laws. Oh and the wonderful exploration of the mysterious places with histories and the deep ambiance of the deep. I want to experience a rich, vibrant world that doesn't depend on the player being there.
Also System Shock 3 would be nice, but I know that's too much to ask. Underworld Ascension was too much to ask, but miracles do happen! :D

We've already had two attempts at "System Shock 3" and those were Bioshock and Dead Space. Good games, but not really on par with their predecessor. I guess I wouldn't object to another attempt though. :p

Prey 2 is going to be SS3, by all accounts. It would make sense - Arkane did their Underworld successor, then spun up their own take on Thief. SS2 would be the next thing to have a go at if you're following the LGS/Irrational classics in a straight line.

Please please please do a Thief game next. Sadly, I never played the Origin Ultima games.

Great news! Please make it good. :)

I'd like to experience that feeling of underground survival and scavenging - searching for food and basic equipment, occasionally being over my head as I venture into unexplored territory... similar things. UW didn't have much of a stealth component, but this new game could have one.
Also, exploration, lots of verticality... discovering a hidden world and its secrets...

Following on from what Melan said, I'd really like to see light, and its lack of, playing a large part in the game. I want it to be dark and dingy, forcing you to use torches, candles or whatever else you can get your hands on to carve your way through the darkness. All too often in games that have underground sections, they're overly bright or have far too much lighting. Take Skyrim, all the caves were flooded with light, even when there was no clear source of it. It made carrying torches (or using the light spell) pointless.
