It will still be a fair way off... but it is going to be Hand of Odd, for those who haven't heard of it yet. Hand of Odd is meant to be the game after Munch's Exoddus and will involve online gameplay.
A couple of links might help you find out some very basic information:

You will be able to take the place of either the environmently friendly Mudokons/natives and nurture the planet, or the industrial Glukkons and expliot the planet for your own needs.
The game was meant to be the next in the series, but OWI have decided to hold off on it due to waiting until the Xbox's online capabilities become fully available.
