One week ago i was like 50% of chance for Destiny to be shown, but now it's pretty clear it's up to 100%.
The question is will Bungie show actual gameplay or just a teaser trailer ? and if it's a teaser will it be in CG pre-renderd or real time ? Bungie's always been a fan of showing off their game engine, both in trailers and in cutscenes, and I expect the Destiny reveal to be no different. Not only does it show off the concept of the game, but it shows off the strength of their engine.
As to whether it will show actual gameplay, that's up in the air. I imagine the trailer will give us a strong impression as to what the gameplay should be like, even if it isn't direct gameplay footage. See the Dishonored Debut Trailer.
Dishonored was also a new intellectual property, and they wanted to put their best foot forward with the trailer. The trailer introduces you to Dunwall with the plague, it's oppressive treatment of the lower class, and it introduces you to the basic premise of the plot. You're a dude who was locked up, but is now freed and given powers to get revenge against the people who wronged him.
The second thing the trailer does is give you a strong impression of what the gameplay will be like, even if the footage is not direct gameplay footage. I could tell immediately when watching that trailer way back when that the gameplay was going to be played from the first person perspective from the trailer's heavy uses of the first person shots. They show a lot of platforming and sneaking around, his main magical abillities which he uses to quickly take out guards, etc.
Expect the Destiny trailer to be along the same lines, I think.
