My guess is the Android release. Once that is out of the way maybe they can focus more on bug fixing.
Does the play store have a review period like apple? I assume they do, and a countdown wouldn't work for this. Apple held bg2 for a month after beamdog submitted it, without any explanation.
Will they announce the elusive third Gate of Balduran? Will they reveal their much-delayed release for the android? Will one of the developers come out of the closet? Or will they just flip us the bird?
I also think it can't be the Adventure Y because it seems now they are busy with voice over actors who will participate so this additional content has been not completed yet. Moreover, according to Dee, "Adventure Y is still in the plans, and we're still planning patch support for BGII:EE", from what I can make a conclusion that the Adventure Y is as far as a patch for BG2:EE.
So, apparently, the timer is all about the Android version. Because there's a certain time estimate, it must be something they are sure about in terms of the availability. The early access to the Android version began 3 days ago so the Android version is indeed at least close to the final product.
This idea is further confirmed by the following tweet:

"Cam" is obviously Cameron Tiger and he was (and is) the main man behind the development of the Android version.
Isn't android running version 1.3? To me it would be kind of odd to on the one hand announce android while not upgrading the versions on other devices. Especially since we've had basically months of testing for 1.3 on PC (the listed changes between the last few patches for the latest phases have been pretty small after all).
I began to theorize it is actually the timer for the release of Anthrax into the vents of Beamdog's headquarters once they announce a delay in their announcement.

Anthrax would be a welcome step up after some of the stuff that was going through Beamdog's vents a few months ago...

Honey, I've seen things you wouldn't believe, I've experienced pain you can't imagine and I've studied subjects that would destroy lesser minds. Of course I want to know - to my being, there is no such thing as 'too much information', no matter how terrifying or repulsive it might seem.
Well it seems to be android if Cameron Tofer is involved, he has been tied to the android mast the last ~6 months as far as Ive gathered. Considering the huge delays of the release it might be warranted, didnt the mac release have a timer? It might also be a joint release/info about adventure Y as well as android.

I mean it could be for 1.3 as well I suppose but this seems like its a bit much for that.
Sorry, but I just don't think releasing the same game on a different platform is worthy of all the countdown hooplah.

Edit: stupid autocorrect, instead of "Tofer" I've typed "Tiger"
