For the past 2 days, 2K has been running a teaser site with a countdown timer.
http://www.adventfuture.org/
That timer is assumed to roll over to 0 days at about Noon Eastern time, as that's when it rolled over yesterday.
Now, we're not 100% sure that it's XCOM, but that's what all signs are pointing to. Images promising "cities of tomorrow" contained posters that, upon further inspection, were the same movie posters found in cities in Enemy Unknown and Within. In addition, viewing the source files of this website reveals that the font name contains the word "xcom." Finally, breaking a cipher on the website reveals the phrase "Vigilo Confido," Enemy Unknown's tagline.
The "ADVENT" organization from this teaser site also has a Facebook page, and the Facebook page for the villainous "EXALT" organization from Enemy Within has also been interacting with it, essentially confirming that this game is an XCOM sequel. This comes along with mentions of "genetic splicing and manipulation," gameplay elements from Enemy Within.
All in all, it looks like we can be expecting a next-gen XCOM reveal in a couple of hours.
Unrelated: ratings boards have recently rated "XCOM: Enemy Within Plus" for the Vita, showing that an announcement for that is probably incoming at Sony's press conference at E3. I could not be more excited.
