I came across this incredible finding by searching through their job openings. There is currently one for a Software Engineer open which will work on development on an unnamed game. This is different from their announced TITAN MMO and WoW expansions and SC2 expansions, all of which have been announced already.
Recently Blizzard posted that they were looking for more engineers through their Facebook page and after going through their job openings, I came across the finding.

It is titled as follows:


Unannounced Game Title
!Senior Software Engineer


You can see it for yourself here:
http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/careers/directory.html#region=Americas;showonly=Programming




After further analysis of the job description I suspect that they will release a mobile game due to the following:


Blizzard Entertainment is seeking a highly self-motivated senior engineer with expertise in rapid software development. The Ideal candidate would be willing, and able to get their hands dirty in every aspect of game development, whether that means client engineering, building server technologies, or even small tools development. This person should be versatile, and enthusiastic about working on whatever parts of the project it takes to get the job done quickly but cleanly.

Responsibilities

Solve a variety of technical challenges on multiple devices, and operating systems.
Port existing technology to other devices and platforms.
Work with artists, designers, producers, and other engineers to create new game systems.

Requirements

Passion for gaming on a variety of platforms
Expert programming skills in C / C++, and C#
Enjoy solving complex technical challenges
Be self-motivating and work independently
Learn new technologies quickly
Excellent, proactive communication skills
Make small tools as needed to enhance productivity for yourself and your team
Pluses
Previously shipped games on multiple platforms, including mobile devices
Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS knowledge
Client systems, UI systems, and 3D technologies
Server development experience
Networking and Database development
Java, or Perl knowledge
Perforce source control experience

Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and its affiliated companies is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer.

Perhaps it's simply uncertain as to what game, or perhaps an unannounced addition to an announced game they will need a Software Engineer for at the moment. That being said, I'd be a little more conservative with the title.

If that's not the case, then I highly await the game's announcement, and hope that the game is not tainted by the Activision side of the company.

"Unannounced" means the information pertaining to the game hasn't been made public. It could be a various set of games, WoW next expansion, SC2 2nd expansion, Titan, new warcraft rts, etc...

The problem is that OP didn't specify that there's also a listing for "Next-Gen MMO"...

And although not 100% announced, it's been know/made aware that Blizzard is in the works with a new MMO codenamed Titan.

Assuming Titan is the "Next-Gen MMO" (which it may also be a WoW expansion, this is all speculation), the Unannounced could be a NEW game....



Although I highly doubt... Just based on their recent 7 years of development, nothing new has come up


EDIT: Also note, the "requirements" do not list a minimum number of years developing games, which may mean a newer series coming?

Again, highly doubt, but you never know with a company, especially one that's apparently being dropped from the ATVI corp

I was giving examples and since Legacy of the Void hasn't been confirmed/announced 100% for a release date it is still classified as a Unannounced Game Title which is under or is not under development at this time.

Could be a mobile game or just that it will have some mobile aspect to it. If the game has any applications related to it, like WoW has the remote auction house and armory stuff then the senior software engineer for the game should probably know something about mobile applications. They do say mobile games experience specifically, and not applications though so perhaps you're right.

How do you know their next-gen MMO Titan isn't playable on mobile?

Given the mobile space as a whole, even just having supporting apps seems to be a big thing nowdays, so I'm not surprised. Could just be "support mobile game apps" like many other franchises already do.

Next Generation MMO is TITAN which has been announced already.
It specifically says unannounced game. They are developing a new game apart from the ones we already know they are working on.

Er mah gerd! You came across something that has been known for years! :D

Ok well maybe not "years" but definitely over 1 year. This unannounced project has been around for a while, it's just recently where they've actually started to hire new people to work on it.

Titan has been circulated as the new codename for awhile now, this isn't really something astonishing or new :x
