Might & Magic X in a few days. When I quit smoking in 2009 I needed something to keep me sane, and a lot of the old dungeon crawlers - which I never played at the time - did the job nicely. It's already been on early access for a while but I avoid those if I can (even though I have DayZ and actually use the bugtracker.)
Thief 4. Even crazier than the fact that it was announced nearly five years ago are the few who have spent that time bitterly posting about it. I'm not expecting huge things from the game, but I'm still looking forward to trying it out.
Warlock 2. Can't wait for this, but it probably won't be as popular as it deserves to be (all going well.) The devs seem to have learned the right lessons from the first game. Now to wait until the end of April. :o
South Park. Not much to say. I'm not exactly excited, but I'd love to play it.
Alien: Isolation. Please, please, please actually be released this year (and be awesome too.)

Is M&M X coming out in a few days? oooo. Good month for games. Though Shadowrun: Dragonfall is looking like it wont be out till sometime in Feb now.

(
http://www.divinityoriginalsin.com/) Divinity: Original Sin seems very interesting to me. I haven't really looked at the specifics in too great detail (since I prefer not to read too much about things before I play them), but I've heard a lot of good things about the developer's previous games, and it's
a proper story-based RPG with cooperative multiplayer. Those practically don't exist for some reason - it's only ever MMORPGs or single-player.
As others have mentioned, Alien: Isolation also sounds very promising.

I strongly dislike all of Larian's previous games, but Original Sin looks great. The only thing holding me back from grabbing the Early Access is that I thought all of their other games looked great too, and they ended up being fairly bland.
But this, holy hell:

I forgot about that one. While I'm going to wait for word of mouth judgement out of prudence, what I've seen of the game and about the development has me optimistic.

10 months later...
Wonder if we'll see any of these before the year's up?
Routine
Quadrilateral Cowboy
The Witness
Frontiers
Tangiers
Hellraid (beta)
Solarix

I haven't seen up update on Routine in forever. I hope it's still progressing.

No way for Tangiers. The beta access for backers has even been delayed. No ETA.

Alien: Isolation seemed to beat it to the punch: A retro futuristic space station, a lone hunter chasing the protagonist who as limited means of defence and has to run and hide.
I loved the trailer, but with no updates in ages and a very similar game coming out... I'm not holding up much hope.

I didn't get the impression with Routine that there was only one baddie chasing you, I could be wrong on that though. They (Lunar) did update their dev blog in August, so as of about 3 months ago, they were still working on the thing.
Between Alien Isolation, Routine, and Soma, I'm liking the space horror trend. On that note, I suppose I should add Solarix to the list of hopefuls for 2014.
