We can fantasize as much as we wish, but I am afraid that whatever the titles will be, the content is going to be as usual: feats, spells, magic items and prestige classes. 
Even more sadly, many of those will be just updates.
They COULD have been books with useful and interesting new stuff. The C.Warrior could have expanded combat rules in many directions but it didn't at all. The C.Expert or whatever could double the uses for each skill and add rules to further specialize in one single aspect of a skill or otherwise to better synergize between different skills; C.Divine could develop alternatives for different religions, cults and myths; C.Arcane could offer different approaches to spellcasting, item creation, metamagic or something totally new. None of them will. The only few ideas about all this stuff may see the light in Unearthed Arcana.
Wow, these books haven't even been announced yet and I already feel like they're part of the past...

In 2e, each class belonged to a greater 'school' of classes....Mages were Wizards, Clerics and Druids were Priests, Thieves and Bards were Rogues, everything else was Warrior.
Following that idiom, we'll have the Complete Divine, the Complete Arcane, and the Complete <blank> (maybe Master, maybe Rogue, maybe Coward, I dunno)
And we'll have the four main areas of your typical dungeon party covered.
I'm not sure they'll do race books....there already are several chains of race books out already.
