This thread will shorten the new game will be announced tomorrow and why it is NOT on the WotLK beta or Release. So please stop spam forum with theories about the splash screen that can not possibly be true.
Why a new game will be announced
First, every one recent title was Blizzard splash screen leading up to announcement. This includes WoW, SC: Ghost, and SC2, games, before it may also have had a splash screen.
Also, every single splash screen ever installed Blizzard (without the ads, such as arena tournament), has corresponded to and report on a new game.

Rob Pardo, the Exec at Blizzard has been quoted saying:
------------
Q u O t e:
"So you want me to announce the game before our announcement?" he said. "No offense, but I think it's like 300 people here, and I will be ripped apart by 8000 people there [at Invitational] if I pre-announce it - but it is going to be very exciting. I think everyone here will be very excited about the announcement. "

Why not the beta
This is also not possible to beta Blizzard does not make big fuss about the beta. Look at WC3 and WoW or TBC beta, for example, were announced with all posted on their website, not big media event to announce beta.
Why not a release date
This can not possibly be the release date for WotLK because not only is it a new game, but Blizzard is not always release release dates until near the end of development cycle. They released games "soon" and "when they are ready". In fact, the dates are usually given near the middle or end of beta, and WotLK is in early alpha.
Look at the release date for TBC was announced. Look at when TBC came out. Now shut up about a release date. You can do this for every Blizzard title.
Why not the new information about WotLK
Of course, we will be getting new information about WotLK and SC2 tomorrow from developers panel, but in order to splash screen for the announcement of a new game that will be on WWI tomorrow. And they would do this commotion just to release some new information about WotLK?
Splash screen is only reserved for new games, no new information on old games.
Why Diablo 3
-Tomorrow is the 10 anniversary of Diablo 2nd
-Blizzard recently bought the diablo3.com state.
-Blizzard has been to recruit in recent years for secret mission "from the developers of Diablo and Diablo II.
-Richard A. Knaak, the author of Diablo: Sin War Trilogy has said that he is not writing for a dead universe.
