Pearce Says Fourth Race Possible in Expansion

In another statement released to VG247, Blizzard big man Frank Pearce suggested that a fourth race might be forthcoming in a future StarCraft 2 expansion.

We don’t have the resources or time to add a fourth race to the launch of StarCraft II, but I’m sure in the event that we decide to do an expansion set it’s a feature that’ll come up for discussion.

When asked why there wasn't already a fourth race in StarCraft 2; "We talked about the possibility of a fourth race early on, but we felt like we had a finite amount of great ideas and wanted to make sure we focused all the cool, best ideas on the existing three races rather than diluting those ideas across four races."

While this shouldn't be enough to get your blood pumping just yet, it is an indicating of Blizzard's intent after release. It would seem that Blizzard does indeed plan very seriously on an expansion for StarCraft 2. Whether or not it will actually contain a fourth race remains to be seen.
