I'm really impressed by the Dungeon faction ability. Hope Dungeon creatures don't have high initiative.

But we know that since some time already, right?

Yeah in the 18th century, two inventions suggested a method of measurement. One won and the other stayed in America.

"It is one of several expansions which are being expected of the series"
There's a big difference between plan and expect, imo

Hardly... But now I really want to see Academy and Sylvan integrated into the game... Though it's more likely that Fortress will be introduced, not Sylvan (similar to Sanctuary, no new artworks for Wood Elves).

Ahhh . Sorry , my mistake 
But I still belive that Ubisoft and Virtuos would make a great team that should be able to create one last expansion with Academy and Sylvan included . Imo now are just too much evil races ( Inferno , Dungeon and Necropolis ) , but only Haven as a pure-good faction .

No problem
I'll emphasize on what gnomes said. He is new to the game, it's normal he doesn't know about the BlackHole bankrupt and the long and hard road this game had. Or the several times Ubisoft crew said "there are no plans for second expansion".
Still, I don't see a reason to think they changed their minds.

There's artwork for all of them in the compedium if that counts for anything. But everyone knows that dwarves were the least popular faction, including ubi.

Some detailed information from one of the new videos (sorry if it has already been revealed somewhere).
Shroud of Malassa I
Target Dungeon friendly Core stack becomes invisible. It is revealed when it attacks an enemy or when it becomes adjacent to an enemy stack. When invisible, the stack causes 10% additional damage, avoids retaliation, and receives 50% less damage, +1 Movement. Lasts 2 turns. The gauge is filled when enemy creatures that cannot retaliate are attacked.
Shroud of Malassa II
Target Dungeon friendly Core or Elite stack becomes invisible. It is revealed when it attacks an enemy or when it becomes adjacent to an enemy stack. When invisible, the stack causes 10% additional damage, avoids retaliation, and receives 50% less damage, +1 Movement. Lasts 2 turns. The gauge is filled when enemy creatures that cannot retaliate are attacked.
Shroud of Malassa III
Target Dungeon friendly Core, Elite or Champion stack becomes invisible. It is revealed when it attacks an enemy or when it becomes adjacent to an enemy stack. When invisible, the stack causes 10% additional damage, avoids retaliation, and receives 50% less damage, +2 Movement. Lasts 2 turns. The gauge is filled when enemy creatures that cannot retaliate are attacked.
Shroud of Malassa IV
All Dungeon stacks in the chosen area become invisible. They are revealed when they attack an enemy or when they become adjacent to an enemy stack. When invisible, these stacks cause 10% additional damage, avoid retaliation, and receive 50% less damage, +2 Movement. Lasts 2 turns. The gauge is filled when enemy creatures that cannot retaliate are attacked.
Offering to Malassa [Heroic Strike]
The Hero's attacks mark a target enemy creature stack as an "Offering" for 3 turns. The marked stack is dealt 20 Darkness damage every time it is about to do an action for 3 turns. Moreover, the faction gauge fills by 20 points every time the target is attacked by a friendly stack. Only one creature can be marked at a time.
Fleet Feet [Specialization]
The Hero is granted the Haste spell, with 1 Movement bonus, and the mana cost of Haste and Mass Haste becoming 20% less.
Shadow Pact [Reputation Ability]
When there is at least one friendly invisible stack on the combat map, all friendly Dungeon stacks benefit from 7% increased damage.

I meant that there, in Compendium, are some Fortress artworks, which were possibly drawn by the artists that created the majority of artworks for the original version of the game (bear, Valkyrie, Fire Giant). And no "Heroes VI"-stylized Sylvan artworks. IMO, of course. I think that, according to the early plans of the Developers, Academy, Inferno, Haven, Necropolis, Sanctuary and Stronghold are the choice for the vanilla; Fortress and Dungeon - for the first expansion (sure that bear, Valkyrie, Fire Giant, upgraded Stalker, Beholder, Minotaur and Manticore had been drawn before "Black Hole" went bankrupt); Sylvan - for the second and the final expansion. Maybe I'm mistaken...

I think that now Sanctuary and Stronghold need their faction abilities to be strengthened.

Not sure about Stronghold, but "Honour" is really quite weak in comparison with level 4 faction abilities of Haven, Necropolis, Inferno and Dungeon.

Well, "Bloodrage" is OK, but "Honour"... It can be rebalanced in this way: +10 (not 7) Might Defence and Magic Defence, a frost shield dealing 3 (not 2) Water damage per creature to attackers. And one of these, not both: +20% (not 14%) Maximum Health OR a frost shield inflicting the "Frost" (not "Chilled") effect. I think these changes would be quite reasonable.
