Videogaming247 has a follow-up to speculation that a fourth race will be included in StarCraft II, learning from Blizzard cofounder Frank Pearce that the game will definitely ship with three races. He does, however say that a fourth race may come "in the event" of an expansion, humorously implying that there's a chance there will not be any add-ons for the RTS sequel. They quote Pearce as saying: "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."
