You need to take into consideration that Blizzard have never announced a new game, expansion or even feature at a different "Con" than theirs. Apart from Hearthstone, which was announced at a trading card fair.
Of course they did before they started their Blizzcons/Invitationals Diablo 3 expansion will be announced at Gamescom, that's certain now, just add up the bits of info that got dropped in the past few days:

"We just wrapped another amazing cinematic. Can't wait to show the world!"
Mike Morhaime:
"We’ll be sharing Diablo 3 related news at Gamescom this month."
As I said earlier, this year's Blizzcon will be overflowed with news even without the Diablo expansion announcement. I expected that something would be "offloaded" to another event. Gamescom is huge, even by world standards, Blizzard has constant presence, and they had no events in Europe since the Blizzcon in Paris. Everything fits!

And just to leave my comment on rollbacks, I welcome the policy change, it was long overdue.
