E.T.A. on the next 2 remade avernum games?...

Avernum 2: The Crystal Souls should come out at year's end. It depends how much Jeff decides to change Avernum: Escape from the Pit to use features he liked from the modified versions. Since it's a remake, most of the content is already written.

 

Avadon 3 will come about a year after that. Also it depends upon how much the game engine changes to allow new features. It will take longer since all the content is new.

 

Avernum 3: The Ruined World is next and is the largest world.

 

Writing dialogue for Jeff's games is equivalent to a novel. During beta testing only a little bit of the game is tested to catch bugs and keep the game balanced. This means experience levels get altered so we aren't level 30 half way through.

I think Avadon will be in his priority, so Jeff would probably remake the Avernum series in a few years time. Following that, maybe Geneforge too.

We know that this is not exactly true. From the homepage:

What Are We Working On Now? Now that Avadon 2 is finally done, we are starting to poke at our upcoming rewrite of Avernum 2. We hope to have a full release announcement with screenshots and stuff before summer.

Avernum 2 is next. As Randomizer said, Avadon 3 is presumably next after that, then Avernum 3, because Spiderweb generally alternates between series.

Yeah, for clarity, a "release announcement" just means that they're announcing that there will be a release eventually, not that there is now a release. So there will probably be a release announcement for Avernum 2 within a month or so (screenshots! speculation! hype!), but they won't actually release the game for a while.
