To everyone saying it is Blizzard All Star...
Why would they be hinting and teasing secrecy about a game they have already announced?
Because when they announced it it was only a Sc2 Mod, they've since scrapped the whole thing and made it new from scratch, as a standalone game.
Should be either All-Stars or a playable Diablo 3 for PS3. If it was something completely new someone would've found out about it already, (registered trademarks or something),
its already free i doubt they need to include it in another product, except maybe free characters or skins or something if you sub to wow

well they arent making that big of a deal about it all they said was their going to show something different to what they normally do.

In the end whatever it is, it won't be THAT exciting - the big stuff will be held back for Blizzcons return this year
New character models for Wow
But seriously the most viable guess is probably their Dota game they have been mentioning for a while.
That's what I meant, yes. I was just responding to someone who insinuated no one would play this over LoL. Obviously they could tie in any number of things to their other services to promote people playing them, just like they do already.
Whether it's skins or free points from their WoW sub, being able to use the currency from D3 to spend in the All Star Shop, and buying a physical copy of All Stars to get pets, mounts, items, and portraits for other games.
This strategy already works and they use it on every game launch. I wouldn't really expect anything different. People like to look at their games as some stand alone product, but they have become almost one of the best managed brands out there aside from Disney. I guarantee you their corporate strategy has been about branding and product culture since WoW went big.
BAD WOLF
But what could the hearthstone symbol mean?
A mini game that is Warcraft related but completely different so as not to qualify as a sequel or expansion? Possibly some kind of... Warcraft social game?
Or maybe my dreams have finally come true and they are making a single player RPG set in the Warcraft universe!
Heh. Yeah right. I'm gonna go cry in a corner...

I will rub my nipples whilst teabagging David Cameron if it's Starcraft: Ghost revival.
Blizzard All-Stars seems to be by far the most logical.
Possibly even the new SC II Map - Marketplace (in conjunction with BAS)
1. It's the only new game/feature that would likely hit the market before BlizzCon 2013.
2. It's not "big enough" to warrant much attention at BlizzCon, at least not amongst the new WoW expansion, Legacy of the Void, possibly a first Diablo expansion and maybe a first teaser of Titan.
