i believe blizzard has created content already being withheld for the expansion pack... as they always do.

whoa what! secret campaign in the bw that suggests a 4th race? what campaign was this? Oh, and what r u talking about with blizzard withholding content. Is this verified or speculation? I remember blizzard saying that currently, they aren't close enough to be thinking about an expansion pack.

everyone please think twice about if you really even want an additional race.

just think hard. real hard here. if you are intelligent you should reach the same conclusion I did, that adding a 4th race would most likely hurt the game.

if you need I can post my reasons for this again, tho it's in another thread already

dude did you see the gameplay video, the game is this far along and they clearly said 3 races several times they aren't about to go add in a 4th race that makes absolutely no sense. Just cus the previous storyline allowed for a new race doesn't mean it's always possible they will include one. It's also very impractical they'd even add one in an Expansion Pack, every single Blizzard expansion pack for their rts games has never added a new race, only new units and other similar more minor things.

Expansion Pack


knowing blizzard, they might do something like this. blizzard loves hyping stuff up and arguably surprising its customers, so they might do something like make a major announcement for it right when the game comes out
hay guys u thare???

Blizzard has already said there will only be 3 races. The Xel'naga have a part in the storyline, that's it. Stop beating a dead Lurker.

The only problem I have with people saying a 4th race doesn't exist is evidence from the SC campaign where a character states something to the effect of "the Protoss and the Zerg shall become one, and all will know the fury of the swarm." I'm pretty sure Kerrigan said it at the end of the Zerg campaign.

I think the ending was her staring off into space, feeling something powerful coming towards the galaxy, or along those lines.

+ the "secret" campaign mission where you find evidence of merged protoss/zerg in tanks.

i dont really remember exactly what its about, something with Infested Duran i think?

already mentioned, but the rumour he's talking about was pre-announcement. it was posted on tlnet and because that "source" mentioned a kerrigan race, i'm inclined to think they just made the whole thing up, because there is no kerrigan race.

expansion pack with a new race might be something to think about though

hmmm can anyone quote blizzard that said there is no new race? according to the starcraft2.com faq's it says

"How many races are in StarCraft II?

In StarCraft II, players will see the return of the Protoss, Terran, and Zerg races. Our goal is to ensure that all the factions in the game play even more distinctly from one another than in the original StarCraft, while still maintaining the fine balance that helped make StarCraft such a classic. We're also introducing a number of new units to each race, as well as modifying some of the familiar units returning in StarCraft II. With these design refinements and the new features we have planned for the single-player and multiplayer elements of the game, StarCraft II will offer a next-generation StarCraft experience."

it says "players will see the return of protoss, terran, and zerg" but it did not say there is only 3 races, or there is no 4th race

I guess the fourth race will be something that was present in StarCraft and and also BroodWar, it will be something that no one expects, something that will shock all the community... + Show Spoiler +
