Is there a place for another race in the Starcraft Universe ?
The implications of introducing another race are vast , both story and gameplay-wise.
Do you think that the final(Gold) version of Starcraft 2 will include the Zerg, Terrans, Protoss or a different selection of races ?

from what I have read I heard there would not be any additional races, however I do hope there are!

putting a new race would disrupt the balance between the 3 current races. another race would just delay and make more trouble for the battlenet crew to design another race. i mean they are already having trouble trying to rebiuld the current three races that they already got. i mean so much trouble doesnt come free now does it? besides i would rather have this come out as soon as posslible really

Of course there's a place. A hybrid race is a natural addition to the game, one we've all been expecting...

I know Blizzard have said that there will only be 3 races. It's still early in development, though, and they might just want to hide the big surprise from us.
The 4th race might also be added in an expansion. Adding additional races is a Relic tradition... we can only hope Blizzard follows suit.

starcraft 2 will only itself have the three races, but the expansion will add one race... xel`naga...

i say i have to agree with overload... i think starcraft2 will only have the three basic races... but if and when they come out with a expansion set to sc2 i think it will bring about the return of the xel'naga

Well, one can only hope.

It seems to me that there starting up the Xel-Naga at some point on sc 2, but my question is ok, yeah it will be cool, but in SC1 the Zerg defeated/killed all of the Xel-Naga. So even if there were some left would it really make too much of a differance?? the zerg could just wipe them out again like they do to every thing as it is now. Don't get me wrong i'm optmistic, im guessing that the Xel-Naga will have powers that resemble that of the protoss but muiltiplied by about 10x. If this is the case then just think how long it will take to build with the Xel-Naga in game play. For a unit 10x better than say the Zelot, the Zelot takes the longest to build for basic ground attack as it is... An online zerg will be at ur base with a 6 ling rush before you can even think about building a Xel-Naga unit. So this may be a problem, also... The Xel-Naga are not a fighting race there creators, so how many attacking units could they have? On top of that, if any are left it has probably only been 10 years tops SC time since they were destroyed by the Zerg, so what kind of power will that be for the game?? One level with the Zerg and boom there done again until SC3?? Of course I would really like to see some Xel-Naga in this game, but Blizzard is going to have to work long and hard to come up with an explanation on how the Xel-Naga will be a huge power in SC2. Well thats what I got so far let me know what you guys think.

how i look at it is yes the zerg did happen to defeat the xel-naga but what, you said its been 10 years? Sometime has passed and remember the xel-naga also formed the protoss. So whats to say they dont take both races into themselves to defend themselves. They created both races and they have had many years able to figure out ways of fighting and how to defend ones self. But yes as you said, "For a unit 10x better than say the Zelot, the Zelot takes the longest to build for basic ground attack as it is... An online zerg will be at ur base with a 6 ling rush before you can even think about building a Xel-Naga unit." I think if they are creators and not true fighters wouldnt they know of some way to spawn their guys faster? I'm not saying blizzard is gonig to do this but i think if they did this would be how they balanced out the spawn time thinking for xel-naga. But then what about over powering? It all consist of upgrading a races units making them stronger over the years. But i see where your coming from
