Hi,
What do you think, how will sc2 singleplayer end? Which race will win? What will be the storyline?
Will we ever see the 4th or the so called "hybrid" race that Duran was talking about in the end of BW campaign?
Discuss, please.

Don't get me wrong, but I'm pretty sure the hybrid race is the return of the Xel'Naga... I remember reading somewhere in SC lore that the Protoss and Zerg were supposed to represent the two parts of what the Xel'Naga cherished... purity of form and purity of essence or something. Methinks Duran was hinting that he was working to bring the Xel'Naga back from after the zerg wtfpwned them.

Possible ending? Xel'Naga come back, wtfpwn everything.

with the sc2 devs changing all zerg/terran shortcut keys out of "w", i'd better goddamn get a zerg/toss/terran 3base force up against a 5+ base xel'naga force trampling down on me, and i'd have to do some epic macro/harass/pimp play to survive/win.

i'm pretty sure the game's about to lean into a toss/terran alliance, as in permanently.

Nah
Final big mission is a normal melee 1v1 but you play against the OP zerg-toss hybrid race

I think Zerg will win in the end, and there will be a major cliffhanger so people will be excited for sc3, but that will fade away in the 10 years between releases. In scbw, Zerg sorta lost, so I would be surprised if they made them lose again.

If by "lost" you mean defeating all the other factions and then retreating for unknown reasons, then sure.

The Zerg defeated the Confederacy, the UED, Raynor's forces, Mengsk's forces and destroyed Auir.

Actually, I think like you, especially after I watched the zeratul & raynor video.

No, that is wrong. In the end Kerrigan defeated everyone.

i dont think the xel'naga can come back iirc they had all of their shit over that one planet(idr which one haha) and the overmind ate every fucking one of them..but im guessing Duran could be like a lone survivor or something trying to recreate his race or something i have no idea

In each single player mission, the race you're playing will win.

Since Terran is the first game to be released, clearly the single player mission at the end of "Wings of Liberty" will end with a Terran win. As an aside, I like the idea that the terran army will fight a combined zerg and protoss force as a possibility.

But the Terrans won't win in the next games, because other races will be the featured single player game. My uninformed guess is that Protoss and then Zerg will be released, indicating that Zerg will win in the end.

^ I'm pretty sure zerg expansion comes out first then protoss.

I agree with the guy that said toss/terran will take out zerg in the end though.

The StarCraft II Trilogy consists of the base StarCraft II game and two subsequent expansion sets. StarCraft II is subtitled Wings of Liberty (working title) and will include a lengthy single-player campaign that focuses on the terrans and puts players in the role of Jim Raynor, one of the series' main heroes. The first expansion set, Heart of the Swarm (working title), will follow later and include a single-player campaign focusing on the zerg and Kerrigan, Queen of Blades. The second expansion set, Legacy of the Void (working title), will continue the story experience with a single-player campaign centered on the protoss.


So the Protoss campaign is coming out last.

Still though, that doesn't mean that the Protoss will "win." It could end with something like you (as Protoss) winning a major final battle, but the ending cinematic shows some sort of foreshadowing that they've won the battle but lost the war, as they're no match for the fury of the swarm in the long run. Sort of like the end of the Protoss campaign in SC1, where Tassadar suicides into the Overmind, winning a major battle but at a huge blow to the Protoss. Anyways, who knows what will happen, but that's just a thought.

You play as a commander who is kinda raynors friend by the end, by no means did you and raynor 'win' in sc vanilla terran campaign, you narrowly escaped dying and were left to watch some douche bag take over the terrans.

protoss didnt really 'win' at the end of sc vanilla either, they just killed the overmind.... With their entire world in ruins and the zerg still scampering around destroying shit up...

So i wouldnt be so sure terran will 'win' the wings of liberty campaign.

I think Duran wants to + Show Spoiler +
merge Protoss and Zerg to create the next generation of Xel'Naga
. Raynor and Zeratul will not let this pass. Kerrigan somehow holds the key to stopping it.
