Points to our forum posters who called this sort of thing when BioWare announced a Mass Effect 2 "surprise" a day or so back. CVG points out a Facebook update that spills the beans:
http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=179572842437&id=85811091644Heading off to meetings for the rest of the day, so no more ME2 till later this week. Tomorrow’s surprise, the revamp to the Mass Effect website, is looking really cool and we hope you like the new layout. Visit the Mass Effect 2 website tomorrow for the new look.
In related news, Destructoid points out almost the entire team will move on to DLC production once the game has shipped:
Hudson continued, saying that "pretty much the whole team" will begin working on DLC once the game is ready to ship, and that content could be influenced by fans: “Once we’re done working on Mass Effect 2, pretty much the whole team switches into working on really cool downloadable content. That’s where we like to listen to what fan feedback is for ‘where do you want to go’ and ‘what kinds of things do you want to see.’ “
More information.

That's supposed to be the surprise!? Or is somebody just messing with us?

I am guessing the whole team will briefly work on DLC content. They probably have a natural break between starting Mass Effect 3 to rest, see feedback and do a post mortem.

It seems like a similiar structure to what happened with Dragon Age. They said that the writers and designers do most of the their work earlier in development. They could start working on the DLC whilst the programmers completed the core game.

A revamped website doesn't seem like that much of a "surprise" to me. Guess I'm not the big ME fan that I thought I was :(
