So far every game they've released for free is on GOG.com, except The Crew, so I expect either something that's on GOG.com or something that they can treat like a free-to-play game and make money through in game purchases. So maybe Anno 2070 (lots of DLC), or from the GOG collection, the original Assassin's Creed, Far Cry 1 or 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 4 or 5, or Settlers 2, 3, or 4. It seems unlikely they'll be giving away Watch Dogs for free though. It would make sense to help promote Watch Dogs 2, but next month is too late, they'd be giving it away a couple of days before the release of the sequel. You'd want to do it a fair bit in advance to help build up hype for the new game. That's what they did with Beyond Good and Evil, it was no coincidence they announced its sequel just after announcing it would be free this month.
