It is like still wanting to make a third Gundam Seed season without knowing what to do (and they tried that, but now 2 years later still nothing and I don't expect to see it also) (surely they learned with Gundam Seed not to ruin a fanbase when it is at its peak for a show)

If we compare this to what happened at R1, when it was just starting to air
They started with the manga and the manga and anime were going simultaneously, they had everything written out plot-wise, the only difference was that the method of it all was different due to the lack of some things in the manga. There is a higher chance that this new manga project will be animated and that those first promos will release in January or in spring (because a major project always airs in fall on the best time slot, hardly ever do they start in spring and run through in summer when everyone goes on holiday etc.)

When it comes to commercialism and promotion my hunches are usually correct and I can see sense in not doing a Nightmare of Nunnally. If they were to animate that manga then people seeing it would think back to Lelouch of the Rebellion and would start comparing (due to the same characters). Seeing as the R1+R2 series have a vast fanbase that will not budge to anything it would only result in people saying "well it is good but R1 and R2 were so much better than this..." which is only bad for their show's position in the market... so what comes then.. make a new series with new characters and leave all the older ones out, a fresh start so that people will not go "but Lelouch as Zero was far cooler than that lookalike guy". The only possibility that the old cast will show up is that they will have a small role or that they show up a lot later in the story. (and CC's presence is required of course, but her personality will not be THAT much different as seeing that her role as immortal witch hasn't changed either)

The only reason why there is a mention of Lelouch is to catch the eyes of all Code Geass predators who are still holding onto their favorite characters. If there was no mention of Lelouch's name then the discussions here would be a whole lot different from what is being typed at this moment and that is just what they want. The word will be spread amongst fans that Lelouch might be back or that there is something or someone that has a connection to him, they would all start looking and spread like bunnies to catch a glimpse of what is going on with this new project. And this only means one thing: more customers and a darn good first issue sell rate to fill their pockets
