Before you all go and get too excited this is pure speculation.
In the last issue of PC Gamer (the Febuary issue. For whatever reason they run 1 month early) this was the teaser for the upcoming March issue (due in a few weeks):
"We've got a world-exclusive announcement that is so big, so juicy, and so unbelieveably mind blowingly fun that you're probably going to wet yourself upon seeing the cover. Prepare yourself: either stuff your shorts with absorbent easy-to-get-ahold- of household materials (old T-shirts and socks should do the trick), or break down and invest in some Depends. Whichever way you go, so long as your're prepared to get a little damp in the seat, you'll be ready for our March issue."
After a long amount of thought I have narrowed down what this announcement could be about. First, the only thing that could possibly be this exciting would be brand new, never before (officially) heard news about a new installment in a mega-popular franchise (not an expansion pack). After thinking about this for a little bit I've decided that the most logical choices would be a new Diablo or Starcraft game. These are argueably the two most popular franchises in all of PC gaming, and a game as not been released for either one in 4 1/2 years! Sure blizzard is set to release the WoW expansion pack this summer, but a meer addon to an existing game can't be tieing up all of the company's resources. In additon, we've all heard the rumors going around about blizzard looking for help on a new project, etc etc..
Here is a link for more speculation on what the annoucement might be:

Any thoughts on my hypothesis?
