[[WMG :There will be a Zerg/Protoss/Terran war against the Xel'Naga in the future.]]
Something will happen that the three sides will have to work back-to-back in order to defeat "their creators". That, of course, in case Blizzard decides to do a campaign after ''Legacy Of The Void''.
* I think it will be called "[=StarCraft=] III".
* That's too awesome to pass up. There will also be a metric fuckton of hero units involved - Horner in the Hyperion, Valerian in the Bucephalus, Raynor, Tosh, Nova, Kerrigan (as a heavily souped-up Ghost with Psionic Storm)]], Stettman, Rory, the Odin, Zeratul, Artanis, Selendis, the other heroes from the BadFuture]], a bunch of hero zerg, and all of the mercenaries even if you didn't buy them. The ending will change based on which heroes are alive; only Raynor, Kerrigan]] and Zeratul will need to survive for victory.
** Given that half the ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' final missions ''and'' the Wings of Liberty finale are survive for a time limit missions, I think we can guarantee it. I suspect you'll only get the three big heroes, though; otherwise the number of possible ending cutscenes would get [[CombinatorialExplosion a little ridiculous]].
* Something like this does happen in ''VideoGame/LegacyOfTheVoid'', but it so happens that most of the Xel'Naga were killed by Amon, and Ouros is the only survivor and is imprisoned by the former. Amon arrives on the scene in full force for the ''Void'' campaign and corrupts the Khala to use much of the Golden Armada as his proxy army.

[[WMG: The Dark Voice is {{Satan}}]]
The Xel'Naga are constantly stated to be divine. However, they built temples. If they were gods themselves, what were their temples for?
My answer: The Xel'Naga were angels, and the temples they built were dedicated to God. So what does that make the one bad Xel'Naga--the one who refers to himself as "Fallen One?"

[[WMG: The Overmind is an UnreliableNarrator]]
Think about it, the Overmind wanted to ensure Kerrigan's survival (having forsaw her death and the Dark Voice's victory) and forsaw Zeratul coming to Aiur so spun a story of a 'vision' of the future should Kerrigan die (which might have elements of truth) which the Protoss would want to prevent coming to pass and used Tassadar's image as someone Zeratul and Raynor would trust. This would also explain the [[LargeHam hammy]] dialogue in the mission 'In Utter Darkness'. After all, the Overmind's word is hardly reliable and is most likely to do whatever it takes to ensure its plans come to fruition.

* Based off the Ghosts of the Past trailer, I have come up with some speculation. That part where all those Dominion warships are warping in? That's Prince Valerian's battlegroup. All seems lost, but then the Zerg attack the Dominion battlegroup and Raynor uses that opportunity when they're distracted by the Zerg to board the flagship, allowing him to do the scene where he asks "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now." Valerian then offers to help Raynor get to Char and lend him troops to help him kill Kerrigan (which undoubtedly fails since the next Zerg expansion deals with Kerrigan and the swarm. Does that mean Raynor dies...?). He'll also reveal that he's the mysterious employer that Raynor has been working for, the one obsessed with acquiring all those mysterious artifacts. Expect a scene along these lines: "I'll never work for you!" "Ah, but you already are/have." Also, Tychus might have been released from New Folsom prison by agreeing to spy on Raynor on Mengsk's behalf. Not sure how that fits into the plot though.

* Based off the Ghosts of the Past trailer, I have come up with some speculation. That part where all those Dominion warships are warping in? That's Prince Valerian's battlegroup. All seems lost, but then the Zerg attack the Dominion battlegroup and Raynor uses that opportunity when they're distracted by the Zerg to board the flagship, allowing him to do the scene where he asks "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now." Valerian then offers to help Raynor get to Char and lend him troops to help him kill Kerrigan (which undoubtedly fails since the next Zerg expansion deals with Kerrigan and the swarm. Does that mean Raynor dies...?). He'll also reveal that he's the mysterious employer that Raynor has been working for, the one obsessed with acquiring all those mysterious artifacts. Expect a scene along these lines: "I'll never work for you!" "Ah, but you already are/have." Also, Tychus might have been released from New Folsom prison by agreeing to spy on Raynor on Mengsk's behalf. Not sure how that fits into the plot though.
** Close. Very close. (Note that the Spoiler Tags were once there for a reason. A BIG reason. Read at your own risk.) Jim does forcibly board the ship, but only succeeds because Valerian never had hostile intentions towards him; rather, he wanted to enlist Jim's help with the final artifact (which he does, to the crew of the Hyperion's chagrin). After all the artifacts are obtained, Valerian snatches half the Dominion fleet and teams up with Raynor to assault Char. And their assault is successful - the Zerg on Char are destroyed, and Kerrigan is cured and rescued in one giant SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}. Jim even takes a bullet for her, and kills Tychus.]]
