Im pretty sure the plot will follow hybrids, which should be sweet fun in single player.

It would have been epic if that video was real. Also an infested protoss is bound to happen at some point (my bet is on aldaris, i dont think he's really dead.)

I'm pretty sure that's the entire point of the xel'naga returning in SC2 - to make the 'ultimate race' using bits from their previous experiments, and of course to socialize a bit with their superbestfriend Duran.

No he wasn't, he was killed by Kerrigan after he betrayed Artanis and Zeratul. That was near the end of the Broodwar Protoss Campaign.

Hybrid units will probably be in a campaign. Would be disappointing for them not to be.

The return of the Xel`Naga is preety much the major plot that connects the trilogy together. As such, I would honestly be suprised if we will not see any Hybrids in the single-player.

Also, Karune said this on the matter a long time ago:

We are planning to explore the mysteries surrounding the Xel'naga for the single player campaign. In the campaign you will encounter several unique units that would not otherwise be seen in multiplayer.

Im betting Duran isnt actually with the Xel naga but with a super race of Afro Americans bent on destroying the galaxy, that would be the ultimate plot twist.

If there are no hybrids in the campaigns, Blizzard will have to create some random seek and destroy missions or whatever. Zeratul saw the hybrid experiments in that bonus mission and he certainly is not one to ignore such a thing. Campaign would be horrible without hybrids.
So I really expect hybrids in SP.

I don't see any chances of hybrids being a playable MP race, though. That would have to happen in a separate expansion pack since Blizzard can't possibly hope to create and balance that race anytime soon.
Balancing 4 races to the expected level (comparable to SCBW) is almost impossible. I would really like to be able to choose from 4 races, but not without great balance. Blizzard probably thinks like this too (considering how they try to make the game competitive). They won't spend the time balancing the 3 races and then suddenly add in a fourth race, messing up the whole balance of the game.
