literally seconds ago, day9 had a bunch of the voice actors up on stage and they did an impromptu panel about working behind the scenes as voice actors.

At the end of the panel the voice of jim raynor added some closing words about how they were working on HotS. He mention how there were going to be some interesting plot twists and expressed his interest in getting to come back next year to talk about it. He also added, that maybe he would be bring his friend tychus (pointing to the voice actor) with him from the Hyperion....

Seems fishy to me.

Anyone else have similar thoughts who saw the panel?

Remember the end of Shaun of the Dead?

It's going to be like that.

I really hope Blizzard doesn't make him the new ruler of the swarm lol that would definitely be a plot twist.

I think he was just being broad and spoiler free about it.

he said tychus was on the hyperion which leads me to believe he is alive and well as the son mengsk probably released him from the death trap suit of armor so tychus could get help

Well, Max Payne took a bullet to the head... I don't see why Tychus Findlay can't shrug it off.

Blizzard mentioned they'd try to stop bringing characters back from the dead.

It would make no sense for Tychus to come back as ruler of the swarm... well, not unless he has a whole bunch of untapped psionic power, which is the only reason the Zerg would want him as more than just an infested suicide bomber

Watch as it turns out Raynor's bullet actually dislodged the self-destruct button on Tychus' armor allowing him to be free.

There are only two ways Tychus is alive.

1) Some bullshit event that ends up with him somehow being infesta-zombified.

2) A straight up retcon saying he survived. The single player screen specifically says that Tychus is dead after you've beaten the campaign.

Exactly.

Or maybe they will say that he was already dead - ho ho ho.

Tychus is dead, Raynor is sad he had to kill his friend. Kerrigan works her Zerg magic to bring him back as a powerful zerg commander/lieutenant to help her reclaim the swarm. Tychus' missions involve him working for the swarm and attempting to reclaim his humanity.

On the Lore panel, Metzen said that he thought of Tychus Findlay as dead, but the artists were imagining an infested Tychus, and so Tychus may or may not return - it all depends on who wins the war. =)

or, in the end of the campaign that screen was supposed to say "Tychus Findlay is in a coma."
and it was a typo on blizzards end that went unnoticed by their departments and stuff :O

he might have said it to have anti-spoilers for those who don't know the entire plot yet
either that or he completely slipped up on words.

I don't think Tychus has a real role anymore. Besides, it'd be weird and hard to explain how Jim Raynor walked off with Kerrigan alone at the end if Tychus is still alive.

I hope it's this; I liked tychus but he needs to stay dead. The guy was probably saying the va himself would be returning to voice someone different, although I don't think anyone cares enough about the vas for that kind of announcement. I know that sounds kind of rude, but I'm prety confident that the number of people who know the vas' names outside of the dev staff is safely in the single digits..

Tychus will appear before Raynor as a ghost and say "I was never dead."

I believe, if listened to carefuly, he was not talking in the future tense. You're basically saying 'if tychus findley was at any time alive and on the hyperion, he is going to be in the future'

Hate to burst your bubble, but this is in no way evidence that he is alive. That said, it's still a distinct possibility >.>
