A first look at some tiles.
This I have found at BGG:

So it looks like "trade routes" are going to replace roads. I wouldn't be surprised to see the ability to claim the individual routes. However, I also notice little arrows on the routes, suggesting directions of trade, perhaps?

Main differences to regular Carcassonne: You score trade goods, not points. There are trading ships, the need special combinations of trad goods. When you have the right trade goods you get the ship. At the end of the game the player with most ships has won.

Z-Man Games posted this yesterday on Facebook:

What's it about?

South Seas - Clear blue waters flow effortlessly around seemingly countless islands all connected by a sophisticated network of bridges. It is here that the busy people who inhabit this heavenly paradise frolic around to gather the gifts granted to them by nature. Fish from the sea, bananas from the islands' trees - the bridges are crowded with shell collectors showing off their latest find. From time to time, even merchant ships will dock at the island in search of cargo; the islander that supplies the merchants with the wares they seek is well rewarded for their trouble.
The players take turns placing land tiles on the table. These tiles create Bridges, Islands, Sea Regions and Markets, on which the players may place their Islanders in order to collect the various Wares.
At the end of each turn, the active player may choose to deliver Wares to a Ship in order to score points. Once all of the Land tiles have been placed or all the Ships have been supplied with Wares, the game is over and the player with the most points is crowned King of the South Seas.

I think I will get my Carc-Suedsee at the exhibition modell-hobby-spiel in Leipzig - 04.10.2013. And I will ask Klaus-Juergen Wrede, if he would sign it.

Cool.
Do you know anything about exact release date ?

South Pacific feeling in Leipzig

In a few days, it's time! The Leipzig model-hobby-spiel, Europe's largest public exhibition for model making, games and creative design opens your doors. For the first time, a new Carcassonne game will be presented at the Leipzig fair.
With Carcassonne South seas, the popular family game for the first time puts us in tropical climes.
Of course, author Klaus-Juergen Wrede will be also there and like to sign one of the 1,000 games exclusively in Leipzig for sale.

Thanks! I checked it the other day (order in the goes that seems to go a bit too slow ...), but did not see it listed. I guess you just mailed them? Not that I am in any rush to get it; I am just curious.
