Yes there will. SE5.  It's going to be turn based according to everything Malfador has said up to this point.
Some of the graphics will be rendered in real time, which I guess is something totally different. It concerned me at first but I have been assured it's not the same as a real time game.
Also elements of the combat engine may be real time. It's not really clear what exactly that means, or even if it's a sure thing that it will happen for SEV. I suppose it's possible the game could be a turn based game that goes real time to resolve tactical combat. If you are a heavy solo player that that likes to play tactical combat in turn based that might be a disapointment. I play mainly simultaneous games with only strategic combat so I don't think I will see much diffence in that area.
