I think, realistically, if Ubisoft were to think about releasing another SH ie SH5 then it would be one of three options:
a. A return to the Atlantic U boat war with SH4 like graphics and maybe a few other gameplay improvements but basically an updated SH3.
b. A return to the Atlantic or the Pacific but with the emphasis on allied or Japanese subs.
c. A totally new period either Cold War, Modern or World War 1.
I think that options a and c are the most realistic. Personally I think that Ubisoft/developers will be looking towards making a break with the past SH games so I think that opion c will be most likely to be done and probably with WW1 as the setting.
But this may all be moot. The primary motivating factor for Ubisoft will always be if the balance of money invested to profits is a favourable one. So if you want SH5 tell all your friends to buy SH3 and SH4 and you will get SH5.
